Description:
Modeled after the spirit and purpose—and in homage to—Bach’s keyboard inventions, the Inventions for Choir deal with the five fingers of a pianist’s hand. Each finger receives a different imaginative poem. In Claddagh Crown, the fourth finger is expressed through a text about the familiar Irish Claddagh ring, which stands for the various meanings of love. The Inventions for Choir can be performed in any combination or as stand-alone pieces.
