Hot Tea, Mint & Olives for SSA and piano now published
My 2007 work ‘Hot Tea, Mint & Olives’, with text by the wonderful Ibtisam Barkaat, is now available from ECS Publishing through MorningStar Music. Scores and audio are available here. This work was originally commissioned by the Boston Children’s Chorus. and fluidly combines elements of Arabic music with Western choral writing.
