Mother: A Climate Requiem

Mother: A Climate Requiem is a 5-movement work in the form of a requiem mass, but also using texts from the Norse Poetic Edda, The Bhagavad Gita, and the Epitaph of Seikilos. Existing both as a work for SATB a cappella choir and for SATB choir with string quintet, Mother is a requiem for our planet, humanity’s mother, and for all victims of climate change. Incorporating thematic material from Vituð Ér Enn and Stjörnur Og Aldrnari as well as The Epitaph of Seikilos, Mother will premiere in its a cappella form in November of 2026

The Epitaph of Seikilos

The Epitaph of Seikilos, humanity’s oldest surviving full composition, has been arranged and expanded upon in this work as a joyous dance to capture the life-affirming message of its text.

ὅσον ζῇς, φαίνου

μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ sỳ λυποῦ

πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι τὸ ζῆν

τὸ τέλος ὁ ho χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

While you live, let your life shine

Hold no sadness in your heart

Life is short before we part

Time will take his due so let’s make merry

Presented as a jig with celtic folk influences, this work promises to liven up any performance.
