One of the first pieces I wrote for voice and piano, Kyoto is the first movement of a two-part Art Song set named Songs of the Earth. The set explores themes loss of spirit, and the sadness felt around the impending environmental catastrophe that is occurring as a result of our continued actions.

A slow lament to planet Earth, Kyoto is the title track of the 2014 album Kyoto.
