dc.description.abstractCommissioned by coloratura soprano Mikaela Sullivan for performance in April 2014, Excursus explores the methods in which modern television broadcasting attempts to provide different facets of human desire, thus propagating the continued use of the medium. The composition consists of three songs, each of which focuses on comedic, physical, or philosophical fulfillment. Current television programming attempts to satisfy these desires with sitcoms, pharmaceutical ads, and political slander, respectively. Instead of communicating this message traditionally via voice and piano, prerecorded media serves as accompaniment to the soprano. I make the distinction in the title that the work is for “soprano and flexible media.” This word choice stems from the desire for media to truly act as an accompaniment, therefore the electronic track follows the singer instead of the singer following a click track embedded into a fixed media file.
