Music: Jennifer Griffith

notes:
Jennifer Griffith sings jazz, plays classical piano, and writes dramatic pieces, songs, and diverse instrumental works. Commissions include an opera, The Dressing Room, and a dramatic work about environmental politics, Beautiful Creatures. Her pocket opera Dream President was presented in New York City Operaâs VOX 2004. Griffith is finishing a DMA at the City University of New York Graduate Center where she studied with Thea Musgrave, David Del Tredici and Tania Le—n. Calling G.B. is a nod to the work of George Brunner, who Griffith studied with at Brooklyn College. Musical strategies used here in creating mood are explored further in her electronic work, Who is Miranda (part of The Tempest Project, forthcoming on Pogus), which combines text with a similar palette.
