so much depends (2022) | mixed choir a cappella with soloists | 5 minutes 
 
I composed this buoyant and lush setting of William Carlos Williams’ “The Red Wheelbarrow” during my first semester of undergraduate studies at Indiana University. The poem’s short text is repeated many times throughout the piece, inviting listeners to consider the importance of even the smallest things.
