The (micro)Requiem: coming October 26 - November 1
Re-imagining renewal & rebirth
Autumn has finally come to Texas and I’m excited about a new project I’m about to release: a 6-part (micro)Requiem which follows in the series of Micro Operas I released last winter and spring. The (micro)Requiem is inspired by Mozart’s Requiem in D minor (there are even hidden bits of Mozart!). The project might seem menacing at first but in composing and recording the music, and editing the films, I discovered that it's truly full of light, love, and hope. The process has been much more powerful than I expected.

A six movement (micro)Requiem: a dream-world of transformations inspired by Mozart’s unfinished Requiem in D minor. The (micro)Requiem is a voice and video reflection upon the challenges, sorrows, and expectations of 2020. At first, the piece may seem ominous, but the (micro)Requiem is ultimately a work of hope and remembrance which re-imagines healing, renewal, and rebirth.
The (micro)Requiem will be released daily in honor of Hallowe’en / All Soul’s / Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). The duration of the movements range from under thirty seconds to a little over one minute and will be released as mini-music films starting on Monday, October 26 through Saturday October 31— culminating in the full project on Sunday, November 1.
