The Day of Resurrection
Commissioned for the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus (Philip Barnes, Artistic Director) by Linda and Bruce Ryder, for the SLCC's composer-in-residence program.
"[Composer-in-residence Melissa Dunphy's] “The Day of Resurrection” is written for double choir, a Chamber Chorus specialty, with liturgical echoes. Written mostly in 7/8 time, the music has an urgency that reflects the triumphal theme of the words. The new piece is a winner, and the choir gave it a superb performance." [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
