Product Description

Single-movement work for a cappella choir. I began composing A-nir in April 2002 as a work for my composition class at the National Conservatory of Music. The title means "lamentation" in Sumerian, and the text comprises the first twenty-one lines of "The Lament for Sumer and Urim," written between 2600 and 1700 BCE. The transliteration of the original cuneiform was prepared by the Oriental Institute of the University of Oxford and published in the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature. The text reveals a three-part structure with the outer sections closely relateda characteristic I reinforced by setting both to the same music. A-nir won the Vanguard Premieres Choral Composition Contest in 2004, sponsored by the Michigan-based choir Vanguard Voices, in the emerging composers category. The work premiered on June 5, 2005, at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.
