Three Harlem Songs

for tenor, flute, violoncello and piano

Duration - app. 12 minutes

Program Notes:

Three Harlem Songs is a set of pieces based on the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance poet Claude McKay (1889-1948).  In setting the text, I chose to use a jazz style and language in order to express other artistic facets of the Harlem Renaissance.  The result, although explicitly notated, should sound improvised and reactionary, like good jazz.

This piece has not been performed or read.
