I am a Voice that Sings

From award-winning composer Michael Bussewitz-Quarm and acclaimed lyricist, Ronald W. Cadmus comes an uplifting message of hope and friendship through times of darkness. Multiple musical settings provide a quick learn for choirs of all levels while allowing your singers opportunities for solos. “Together, we will find something of grace and peace. I am a voice that sings! Together we will sing!”

Where We Find Ourselves will be performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City on June 5th, 2023 under the direction of Dr. Rodney Wynkoop.

Where We Find Ourselves

Inspired by portraits by Hugh Mangum that reveal humanity’s richness. The message of the music, that we must look and listen deeper to one another, and that while much time has passed, our country still has so much work to do to overcome racism, is timely and urgent.

The Unarmed Child will be performed at Lincoln Center in New York City on March 16th, 2024 under the direction of Dr. Dan Perkins.

The Unarmed Child

Composed in response to gun violence against children, this nine-movement work sensitively navigates this difficult, heart-wrenching subject with beautiful, poignant, healing words and music. Each movement deals with a different aspect of emotion in a uniquely expressive way.

Requiem Dies Magna

Requiem Dies Magna is a pathway leading out of the despair brought forth by the tragedy of 9/11. It is music that calls us to move ahead with a new sense of humanity. It imparts an understanding that transcends the horrific events of that day. Originally composed to commemorate the first responders who lost their lives that day in New York City, the essence of Requiem Dies Magna (Day of Great Magnitude) is one of hope and optimism as we look towards the future.
