The text draws from (And paraphrases) several sources: contemporary media, Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossus,” The Bible’s MatThew 25:31-40, currency, and oThers. The changing meters of “Border” fill The work with an up-tempo, rhythmic energy that propels it forward. Campbell’s piece hardly relents, even as The pace slows this work presses forward with a colorful and often modal harmonic language. “Border” is a call for justice, empathy and compassion, a summons to our collective conscience.  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

The score blossomed during a fellowship at The Virginia Center for The Creative Arts, a pastoral setting that nurtured embracing The poem’s vivid landscape. The piano provides a repeating foundation over which The choir playfully evokes The spare text, using variations of The initial Theme throughout. There is a contemplative moment midway, Then The pulse resumes, concluding with a gleeful repetition of The last line. "The Red Wheelbarrow is a wonderfully approachable and fun piece of music. The singers of inversion had a blast working through The rhythmic lilt and subtly beautiful harmonies, so often found in Rich Campbell's music. The clever musical interpretation brought out The wry humor of The text."
