Commissioned by Central Bucks High School-west, premiered at the ACDA Conference 2020 (Rochester, NY) by the Central Bucks High School-west women’s Choir. This piece is a protest: a poignant outcry forged from silenced echoes, demanding to be heard. “Human” celebrates the mosaic of humanity—diversity in our DNA, the kaleidoscope of genders, and the unity that emerges when we embrace our differences. Perfect for advanced women’s choirs, festivals, and programs exploring justice and identity Lyrics: Joe Hazell & Gianni Recupero Music: Santiago Veros  less
