Riawanna: Circles by Stephen Leek
This song presents a rare challenge for the conductor, who determines the
form of the piece. The repeated ostinato patterns create circular movement,
building upon one another for several minutes, adding vocal devices such as
overtones, harmonics, timbre shifts, and leaps across the break. A tone
cluster finishes off the piece and leaves the audience spellbound. To
watch a clip of my auditioned women's chorus performing this song (Orlando, Florida),

Advocacy Resolution
Whereas, the Human spirit is elevated to a broader understanding of
itself through the study and performance in the aesthetic arts, and
Whereas, serious cutbacks in funding and support have steadily eroded
state institutions and their programs throughout our country,
Be it resolved that all citizens of the United States actively voice
their affirmative and collective support for necessary funding at the local,
state, and national levels of education and government, to ensure the
survival of arts programs.
