Airport Attire Haiku

for SATB ensemble (with divisi) DURATION: 2:00 Text by Matt Schatz This is the first of a suite of planned choral settings of selections from Matt Schatz's delightful debut poetry book, Shoes Last Longer in LA, described as "a joyride of rhyme, reason, and irreverence". Matt's cheeky, spare, colloquial yet urbane style packs a punch, placing him firmly in the lineage of quintessential New York wits such as Ogden Nash and Dorothy Parker, and leaving plenty of room for singers to have a blast. Be on the lookout for the evolution of The Sandwich Island Suite. In the meantime, you can stake your claim to the world premiere!
