%0 PDF %T An Interfaith Requiem for a cappella choral ensemble %A Daniels, Emma K. %8 2015-05-14 %I Tufts Archival Research Center %R http://localhost/files/zk51vt56x %X An Interfaith Requiem (2014-2015) is a composition for a cappella choir. In this paper, I examine the creative impetus behind the work--the path that led me to compose a piece which aims to bring together disparate religions, cultures, languages, and people through a universal emotional experience, through messages of peace and an everlasting presence beyond life, and through one uniting melodic motive. I discuss the process of crafting a libretto, the compositional process itself, and future possibilities for An Interfaith Requiem. %G eng %[ 2022-10-07 %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
