I was fortunate enough to receive another commission last January from The Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus to set a text from Tony Kushner’s Angels In America. The piece is called “I Want More Life”, and Brent just finished mixing a recording of it in our studio.
Dr. Stan Hill, Artistic Director of TCGMC, (also responsible for my last TC-GMC commission, Through A Glass, Darkly) asked me to write “I Want More Life” for the Tony Kushner Celebration at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. The commission was made possible by the generosity of Jeffrey Bores and with the permission of Tony Kushner.

Beautiful. Especially what I will call the “intro”.
Hello, I am the Artistic Director of the Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus. We are in the process of discerning whether we will mount a production of Through A Glass, Darkly for the June 2011. I have read the information on your site re: that work and am preparing materials to submit with the Iowa Arts Council major grant program. Any guidance you have is welcome!
Meanwhile, how does one purchase scores for the Kushner settings? Are they available? Beautiful, beautiful.
Thanks much, Dr. Rebecca Gruber (515) 865-9557
