Current projects include a large piece for mixed chorus and soloists, with electronic and acoustic components, dance, and texts by Horace and Sappho, in addition to a collection of Greek epitaphs inscribed some 2500 years ago.  The work of Horace is in the original Latin, and all Greek texts are transliterated into standard English phonemes.  Then there is a set of four songs on texts by Rilke, for electronic media and Bass voice;  and a kind of "oratorio" for Bass speaker and orchestra.
