The Handel and Haydn Society’s Bicentennial celebration continues with the world premiere of My Angel, His Name is Freedom by award-winning American composer Gabriela Lena Frank. It is music based on the Ralph Waldo Emerson poem Boston Hymn, scored for strings and SATB chorus.
The piece is a co-commission with the Library of Congress, where it will receive its D.C. debut on February 20, 2016 with Christophers conducting.
