for SATB unaccompanied There are three songs making up this cycle entitled Western Songs - 'Buffalo Gals', 'Green Grow the Lilacs', and 'The Ol' Chisholm Trail'. The arrangements by turn spin contrapuntal and antiphonal textures then relax into meltingly beautiful chords, while glissandi and yipping vocal slides evoke the sounds of the barn dance the the cattle drive.

Western Songs: The ol' Chisholm trail

Calamity Jane

The texts are selected from the letters of Calamity Jane to her daughter by Wild Bill Hickok. The five songs present a stirring picture of an independent woman's struggle.

Calamity Jane to Her Daughter Janey, 1880-1902
