Choices is a musical representation of life. The opening and closing
  musical phrases are set. However the rest of the composition will be a result
  of the choices that the performers will make about which phrases are played
  and when. Performers are also free to choose the tempo, articulations,
  bowings, and the order in which they will play the musical material. You may
  skip around and choose your own order, repeat each phrase as often as you
  like, and even go back after a phrase has been played and play it again.

Cello Duet

This work takes two African American Spirituals, "I've Been Buked," and "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" and weaves them together into a theme and variation which evokes the great cry of the soul whose burden is of the age-old promise of eternal freedom. This work was originally composed for solo piano but has been re-worked for two pianos with very satisfying results. Themes that were lost in the solo piano version can be heard clearly in this version.
