Sam Wu: Weather Model (2023), for mezzo-soprano and string quartet [SCORE]

www.samwumusic.com/weather-model Jillian Krempasky, mezzo-soprano (‪@jilliankrempasky‬ ) Mary Grace Johnson, Nanki Chugh, violins Molly Wise, viola Chris Ellis, cello words by Carrie Marie Schneider I love the water The rainwater has turned red. Red water red water rain. Be submitted by its lightning storms. Float in its floodwaters. I need you breeze, open sky. All that is beyond me out there in space The birthing and burning out of stars. While her followers believe that she has the power to control the winds and rain, the Weather Shaman knows otherwise. She is merely a conduit for forces beyond her comprehension––forces that both nurture and endanger her community; an endless oscillation between divine kindness and cruelty. developed through ‪@musiqahouston‬'s Emerging Composer Fellowship #sheetmusic #vocal #chambermusic #strings #weather #climate #flood #rain #houston
