Contraries: The Human Condition (World
Premiere)
For this new work, McCullough chose the poetry of the early
19th-century poet and painter, William Blake (1757 –
1827). The selected poems reflect Blake’s exploration
of the “secular soul,” a concept of inner strength
motivated by personal ethics. The music portrays the difficult
balancing of the “contraries” within human nature
with intriguing asymmetry and dissonance. On the program with
Verdi's Requiem.
