From "Fermion Histories" (2015). Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is the theory that describes, to a staggering degree of accuracy, the interactions between photons (quanta of light) and matter, which underlie virtually all the phenomena of the observable world. Harmonic Maneuvers is a sort of dance, inspired by the strange and surprising lives of photons and their cascading interactions with matter, the complex harmonic relationships among waves, and the hidden worlds that they inhabit all around us – the impossibly strange, invisible essence of our macroscopic reality. The piece begins with a statement of Maxwell’s equations in covariant form.
Seven Songs from "A Shropshire Lad" (2016)
Chad Somers, baritone | Kurt Galvan, piano
(September 27, 2016; Hatch Recital Hall, Eastman School of Music)
Published in 1896 at A.E. Housman’s personal expense after rejections from several publishers, A Shropshire Lad was to become a sign of the times, and of those to come for British readers. The sixty-three poems evoke a lost youth in the country, the death of friends, and a world that has changed irreversibly around the yearning protagonist. The influence of the Scottish “border ballad” can be heard in the simple folk rhythms of the text, and provides a ghostly backdrop to modern themes of isolation and displacement.
