Chicago Songs
Instrumentation: soprano and piano

Author: Carl Sandburg
Commissioner: Sacramento Philharmonic
“Conductor Michael Morgan and the orchestra (Sacramento Philharmonic) made its biggest mark with the work of American composers Erickson and Bernstein. The highlight was the world premiere of Erickson’s five-movement “Chicago Songs,” sung by the expressive soprano Marnie Breckenridge, for whom the pieces were written. Each intimate piece offered haunting and poetic musical lines for soprano that played against tightly focused and descriptive writing for strings and winds.”
