MacPhail New Music Ensemble presents Unremembered

13 movement song cycle for three voices and chamber orchestra by Sarah Kirkland Snider

A meditation on memory, innocence, and the haunted grandeur of the natural world, Unremembered recalls strange and beautiful happenings experienced during a childhood in rural Massachusetts. Through poet Nathaniel Bellows’ moving words and images and composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s vivid, fraught, astonishing score, the cycle explores the ways in which beguiling events in early life can resonate in—and prepare us for—the subtler horrors that lie beyond the realm of childhood. http://www.unremembered-music.com
