In painting, chiaroscuro is the use of strong contrasts between light and
  dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
  "Chiaroscuro", an a capella SATB work from American composer P. F.
  Strohm, contrasts  the effects of light
  in three movements: 1) 
  "Light", which imagines the first use of speech to describe
  the feeling of light; 2) "Shadows", written from the view of a
  thoughtful prisoner in Plato's Allegory of the Cave; and 3) "Faded
  Figure", which presents the musings of a pentimento figure in a painting
  who was first visible then covered over by the artist in pursuit of
  chiaroscuro effects. You or your mixed choir may see other allegories--try
  "Chiaroscuro" and see what they say! The score includes rehearsal
  piano. The level of difficulty is Medium. Performance time is 4:52. Member,
  ASCAP.

"Orion" was wrtten for the world-renowned Eastman Trombone Choir and scored for 22 players - 16 tenor trombones, 5 bass trombones and one contrabass trombone. Since I was a teenager, I have looked forward to seeing the constellation Orion in the winter months (or summer months for those in the Southern Hemisphere). "Orion" is an unabashed homage to that constellation, with the 22 parts reflecting the 22 or so stars that make up the complete constellation in detailed star maps. Throughout the piece two musical elements allude to the seven brightest stars, with a majestic closing that weaves them together. The combined effects of its musical and spatial elements make "Orion" a sonic treat for players and audiences. Performance time it 5:08. Difficulty is Medium-Advanced. Member, ASCAP.  --PFS
