The Boy From Troy
Composer:Maria Thompson Corley
Librettist:Diana Solomon-Glover
Synopsis
Librettist Diana Solomon-Glover partners with composer Maria Thompson Corley to create The Boy from Troy, a 20- to 25-minute semi-staged oratorio with text based on the life and accomplishments of the late Congressman John Lewis. This new work features a speaker, SATB soloists, large chorus, and a 30- to 40-piece orchestra. Among other seminal moments of Lewis’ life and events connected to his involvement in the civil rights movement, the piece highlights his participation in the march from Selma, Alabama, across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the essay he wrote to America in his final days. The piece is being developed in collaboration with the National Chorale and Opera Noire International, a New York-based African American opera company. The National Chorale will premiere the work at its annual Carnegie Hall concert, and Opera Noire International will create opportunities for engagement with junior high and high school students in the New York City public school system.
