Mater in Memoriam (For Irene) a requiem (2001) for SSAA and Chamber Ensemble, or for SSAA and Piano. Texts by Sue Carroll Moore and Naomi Stephan.
Rather than write in the traditional Latin Requiem Mass format I decided to use my own words together with the fine poetry and poetic sense of Sue Carroll Moore, my gifted collaborator.
It contains:
01. O Sacred Head Now Wounded
02. Danny Boy
03. Joseph Dearest Joseph Mine
04. Abends wenn ich schlafen geh'
05. The bell tower chimes at Indiana University
