Misty L. Dupuis: To Madame Curie: Frauenchor mit Begleitung

The strength of women and the importance of women with power sets the stage for this exciting work by Misty Dupuis. Setting the poem by Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, one of the first African American women poets, the composer establishes strength by layering and building voices and shaping dynamics to build to multiple high points. Finally ending as the music began, in the whispered repeating of the heroine Madame Curie.
