LAH Publications No One Asked Me - Hawley - Choral Octavo - SSA Accomapnied

Composer: Laura Hawley
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SSA with Piano

Commissioned by Chris Bowman (Cantabile Choral Society), Andrew McAnerney (Cantata Singers of Ottawa), Gregg Rainville (Canadian Men's Chorus), Leonard Ratzlaff (Richard Eaton Singers), Timothy Shantz (Luminous Voices), Kari Turunen (Vancouver Chamber Choir), Michael Zaugg (Pro Coro Canada) and the Sonic Timelapse Project.

This piece was written for the Sonic Timelapse Project; a collaborative choral art commissioning project created as a response to the global COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of gathering content from the emotional landscape of choral communities in Canada and beyond.

I created the text using written reflections submitted by Canadian choral conductors early in the pandemic, however, the expression of this work can easily apply to a broad emotional landscape entirely separate from the COVID-19 pandemic experience.
