Excited to be working with SAPhilharmonic on my Nocturne! The idea for this piece came from this Miro painting (also called "Nocturne"), which made me think of all the possible meanings of the term nocturne. Come check it out in San Antonio!

The American writer Stephen Crane was born OTD in 1871. He lived a fascinating, if short, life (he died at 28). Better known for fiction and journalism, he also wrote poetry in stark free verse (which he called "lines"). I set 7 of his poems in "A Thousand Tongues". Listen here:
