Program Notes

This score is an arrangement for string orchestra of the original composition for mezzo soprano, violin, 2 violas and cello. The texts are drawn from Vermont poet laureate Ellen Bryant Voigt’s book “Kyrie” – sonnets about the 1918 flu pandemic. The music was composed during 2020 COVID pandemic in response to the disheartening fact that a century after the horrific events described in this book of poems, humanity has learned little.
