Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of The Girl choir of South Florida on May 18, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in fort Lauderdale, Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. Translation (Romanian): Sun and stars, many tiny ones A game of light on the mountain peak, The snow has melted easily, It flows clearly towards the spring. The warm wind carried the spring, The doe once again leaps through the valleys. She drinks from the pure, crystal river That pours itself smoothly into the sea; Springtime is fully born, The sea is rising, waves with foam, Migratory birds are gathering, A siren sings sweetly to them, "la da lo ..."  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." Trevor Shaw, Inversion Ensemble AD  less

The choir is known for its adventurous programming, seeking out music written specifically for women and frequently commissioning new works. Its appearances include performances at the distinguished National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association (February 2003 and March 1997), including memorable New York performances at Carnegie Hall, Riverside Church, and Avery Fisher Hall.

Morna Edmundson, Artistic Director, takes us through two of her warmups, 1) using folk song melodies to encourage legato singing and natural phrasing and 2) "Umbrellas" to ease the top of a woman's range. Elektra's mandate is "to inspire and lead in the choral art form through excellence in performance and the creation, exploration, and celebration of women's repertoire." Your thoughts on the video?
