Wide American Earth

At the core of “Wide American Earth” is the immigrant's fight for belonging and inclusion in the expansive, multitudinal space that is America. Journeying through different textures, from layered ostinati quintessential in Southeast Asian polyphony to the lush homophony and soaring melodies that are ubiquitous in Western choral music - this stirring work is a voyage through and blending of styles that mirrors the immigrant's journey - included and assimilated, but without losing roots.
