Tu Risa for Mezzo-soprano and Piano or Ensemble

Tu Risa is a song cycle I wrote for my graduate recital, using a poem by Pablo Neruda from Los versos del capitán. The video shows a performance in late 2017, with Solmaaz Adeli, mezzo-soprano accompanied by Lars Johanesson, Kristin Garbeff, Jennifer Cass and Vlada Moran. It was from a Santa Cruz Chamber Players concert. Below are audio recordings from an earlier performance with Ariela Morgenstern, mezzo-soprano with Micheal McGushin providing piano accompaniment. A score is available at the bottom of this page.
