Nkeiru Okoye
An enticing rarity in the vocal literature, 1861 is a 5-minute work for unaccompanied voice � a miniature monodrama, sung a cappella. Okoye�s music and dramatic pacing are in tune with Whitman�s words about the Civil War erupting soon after Lincoln�s inauguration. Whitman�s opening lines, �Arm�d year! Year of the struggle! No dainty rhymes or sentimental love verses for you,� describe both the real world and Whitman�s self-referential poetry, and they are the starting blocks for Okoye�s powerful setting. 1861 was originally composed for solo Tenor (published separately), and later transposed for solo Contralto.Publisher: Theodore Presser Company
