EXODUS The Moon, From its slumber, Creeps out Moving slow ‘Cross the sea Softly lit Cast down Laid to rest Made cold. Dark stars Flick’ring out. Flick’ring out. - Samuel Reese
About the Composer: As a composer and arranger, Franklin has had multiple pieces premiered and recorded by Eastern New Mexico University, University of New Mexico, and University of Texas faculty and students, as well as renowned professionals in the field (most recently Somnia Mortem by David Holsinger and the Lee University Wind Ensemble and Meditations by Jason Missal and the University of Texas Wind Symphony). His choral and band works have drawn attention from legendary composers of our time, Eric Whitacre, Donald Grantham, and Mark Camphouse being some of the most prominent. He has been commissioned numerous works for a wide variety of ensembles, most recently his Sacral Trees – Concerto for Solo Clarinet and Wind Ensemble, Nine – Concertino for Tuba and Piano, an Epic for Bassoon and Orchestra entitled Tradegy of the Forgotten World, and Rose Made Man, a One-Act Opera commissioned for the 2015 Cohen New Works Festival.
About the Poet: Sam Reese has played the part of errant writer to many of the works of Franklin Piland. Reese hails from Silver City, NM and completed his undergraduate work at Eastern New Mexico University. An avid lover of music, literature, and the southwest, Reese currently resides in Austin, TX, where he works as an educational assistant and part-time writer.
