Performed by The Mornington Singers, directed by Orla Flanagan (2019)
“I was privileged to see a live performance of this work three times: twice in rehearsals and then the premiere performance. The piece sounded slightly different each time, as the movement of the performers was aleatory. This added an element of immediacy to the work in that no two performances would sound the same.
The harmonies of the piece alternate between sparse and lush, and this too adds to the kinetic aspect of the piece. Long melodic lines and silences are skillfully punctuated through the exploitation of final consonants 'x' and 's'. This effect was heightened by the "surround sound" result of the moving choristers.
During the premiere performance, the chance movement of the singers resulted in two choristers singing right next to each other and just beside where I was seated in the audience. I heard a bass singing a D2 positioned just behind a soprano singing a D5. The effect was thrilling, not only because of the juxtaposition of the registral extremes, but because the effect allowed a third listening to sound just as fresh and exciting as the first.”

Performed by McEwen High School percussion ensemble (2018)
“Lindsey composed a contemporary piece for our percussion ensemble entitled ‘Different Strokes’ that premiered at McEwen High School in December of 2018. The piece utilized paint brushes, paint, and other art mediums to create the soundscape for the work. As students played the piece they were also creating 4 pieces of visual art. The students involved said that this was one of the most entertaining pieces of music that they have ever played as an ensemble. It does get messy and you need a large area to perform it. We performed the piece on the floor in front of the stage in our auditorium and I put down multiple large tarps to protect the area. This piece is one of my favorite percussion ensemble works and I would highly suggest it for any arts night or highly visible small groups concert.”
