Quarantine Madrigals (2020)
solo voice or choir (15 min: 8 mmts)
commissioned by Conspirare
new text by Amy Fogerson
This work was intended for one singer to compile by recording each voice on top of themselves during the pandemic. However, it can be performed with as few as four singers who have the same vocal range (and I’m sure it can also be done creatively with singers of different vocal ranges as well — this is a very flexible set that will work in many situations) — some of these movements are much easier than others
