this interview is from 10 years ago and all I can see is that I loved that jacket I'm wearing - I left it in a hotel room someplace and I really miss it! thanks, Cincinnati May Festival for letting me see it again.
oh yes, and see you next month!

today everyone is thinking about the sun -
not just #SolarEclipse2024

'sun-centered'

gentle reader!

in my last post I wondered how
'the little match girl passion'
became a holiday tradition
you can see for yourself
tomorrow and Saturday The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

it's the 10th (!) winter that the met has presented it

thanks The Metropolitan Museum of Art !

still holiday shopping?
here is this new recording of
'the little match girl passion'
I am not sure how my piece
became a holiday classic -
is it miserably uplifting?
is it depressingly life-affirming?
or is it just the snow?
you tell me!

yes, out today!
I wouldn't necessarily call it 'expanded' but it is definitely different. we tried to make a version of match girl that is a little leaner sounding, a little more intimate and more personal. check it out!

see you there!
