cycle of nightmares (2016) for tenor and piano
The inspiration for this piece came from my student teaching experience in elementary general music. Some of the songs seemed rather creepy on a second or third (or fiftieth) listening. As I researched more children’s songs, I found many folk songs have sinister roots. These folk songs are the basis for my piece and I offer a modern interpretation of classic and unknown rhymes and songs.
