    New Voices from Shropshire Commissions Underway

    The A.B.I.D.E. committee will support New Voices from Shropshire: a commissioning, recording and publishing project led by ECU Assistant Professor of Vocal Studies Dr. Daniel Shirley.

    A.B.I.D.E. will fund the commission of the Los Angeles-based multi-media composer Dr. Fahad Siadat.

    The 15 composers contributing new art songs to the project are Matt Boehler, Juliana Hall, Kamala Sankaram, Tom Cipullo, Melinda Wagner, Travis Alford, Mark Taggart, Andre Myers, Mark Richardson, Scott Gendel, Edward Jacobs, Michael Slayton, Melissa Shiflett, Fahad Siadat and Daniel Bernard Roumain.

    Their commissions have been supported by funds from the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge (Artist Support Grant and Regional Artist Project Grant), the ECU College of Fine Arts and Communication (Research and Creative Activity Award and A.B.I.D.E. Committee) and the ECU School of Music.

    New Voices from Shropshire will reengage the poetry of A.E. Housman (1859-1936) for the modern art song recital. Fifteen new Housman settings for tenor and piano will be composed by an aesthetically and culturally diverse range of American composers.

    The new art songs will be debuted in a live-streamed recital by Daniel Shirley, tenor, and Eric Stellrecht, pianist, on March 22, 2021 at 7:30 pm, at http://livemusic.ecu.edu/.

    Future intended project components include a commercial recording and published score.
