LA-TI-DA (2011) was premiered under the direction of conductor Geoffrey Pope at the Eastman Composers’ Sinfonietta concert, featuring tap dancer Alex Dugdale and Jennifer Bellor as the soprano soloist. There are two movements, and the second movement is titled “Splash,” and exists as a piece on its own. The vocal part is to be performed as a vocalise, but another instrument may perform the part.
