A Golden Day was commissioned by the Eastern Arizona College Women's Chorale and their director, Chase Moore (one of my former graduate students at EKU). I had the privilege to visit Arizona and work with the choir in March 2020, the very week that the world was shutting down... The piece finally received its premiere in the spring of 2022.
