Description:
Stuart Beatch's a boy & a boy sets a romantic and ultimately tragic text by poet Matthew Stepanic. Written as a response to Eric Whitacre's well-known work A Boy and a Girl, Beatch describes this piece as a 'queer love song'. The poem is illuminated by lush harmonies and conversational textures.
