Commissioned by Cornell University Women's Chorus / Scott Tucker
Poet/Lyricist: Joan Wolf Prefontaine
A gutsy, sensual blues setting of Joan Wolf Prefontaine's poem in praise of messy women. Opening with waves of "spilling" words - spill, splatter, spot, spree, dribble, drabble, oozle - this piece is a rambunctious journey through a world of vocal inflections and joie de vivre, to be sung with nuance and abandon.
