The Four Reasons Dramatic Cantata
for Vocal Soloists, SATB Choir, and Piano
This piece was written as a collaboration between composer Tristan Zaba and poet Genova for the 2020/2021 Toronto Amadeus Choir Choral Creation Lab. Four friends named after anagrams of the seasons, each from a separate artistic discipline and representing one core trait of integrity, star in four stories. By the conclusion they learn how their actions affect each other and come to realize that they must rely on each other to survive.
