Very happy that Sandburg Songs, my 2016 song cycle on texts from Carl Sandburg’s Chicago Poems, is on the first ballot for Best Contemporary Composition in this year’s Grammy Awards. Making this recording on Albany Records was a real labor of love, and I was blessed to collaborate with soprano Tony Arnold and members of Zohn Collective, conducted by Tim Weiss. Thanks to my friends and colleagues in the Recording Academy for your listening and support!
