PERFORMERS

Any vocalists can perform Unremembered. Unremembered is influenced by both Western classical and vernacular (indie rock/pop/folk) traditions. Vocally, the music desires a relaxed, natural approach, drawing on aspects of both classical and vernacular performance practice without leaning too far in either direction. Depending on the vocalists, amplification of both vocalists and ensemble may be advised. 

 Padma Newsome, Shara Nova (formerly Worden), and D.M. Stith -- the vocalists who sang on the Unremembered recording -- are available to perform Unremembered. 

SCORE AND PERFORMANCE INQUIRIES: 

Unremembered (all arrangements and versions) are published by and available from G. Schirmer. For booking inquiries, please contact Curt LeClair at curt@newampresents.org.
