Created as a response to the milestone events of 2020--the uprising in response to police brutality against Black men and women, the November election--Blessed reflects upon the Christian Bible's avowal that the meek will one day 'inherit the earth'. The constraints of creating new opera during a pandemic resulted in an innovative cross-country collaboration amongst Bryan (who also plays piano for the film), filmmaker Tiona Nekkia McClodden, soprano Janinah Burnett, vocalist Damian Norfleet, and sound designer Rob Kaplowitz. Using improvisation as a guiding principle, each artist offered original ideas in conversation with Bryan's score. The result is a deeply personal musical and visual reflection upon how to find hope during difficult times."--Program note by Opera Philadelphia on publisher's website. 500 $a "Commissioned by Opera Philadelphia; written for Damian Norfleet and Janinah Burnett; video by Tiona Nekkia McClodden"--Caption. 546 $a In English, also printed as text. 546 $b Staff notation. 505 0 $a Poor -- Hope. 650 0 $a Sacred vocal duets with piano. 650 0 $a Operas $v Scores. $v Scores. 655 7 $a Improvisations (Music) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Dramatic music. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Scores. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Chamber music. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Sacred music. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Musical settings. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Excerpts. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Opera Philadelphia, $e commissioning body. 700 1 $a McClodden, Tiona Nekkia, $e filmmaker. 700 1 $a Norfleet, Damian, $e honouree. 700 1 $a Burnett, Janinah, $e honouree. 700 1 $a McClodden, Tiona Nekkia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BF2B2D606FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
