Natural Questions
Nicholas Ascioti
About this work:
This piece contains the following songs: A Patch of Ground, A Falling Leaf, Snowflake, A Growing Flower, Flowing Stream, & Cosmos.
Natural Questions is a song cycle that personifies nature by imposing societal questions. As the text gives life to nature, nature then gives life to the music. This text was written by Richard Hibbert.
Natural Questions was premiered and recorded by soprano Eileen Strempel, flutist Christopher Dranchek, and pianist Patricia DeAngelis. This piece is available on my debut CD entitled Creation’s Voice.
