Duffy

Thomas Duffy (1955- ), a Professor of Music at Yale University, has integrated his interest in science into his musical activities. He places a special emphasis on spoken/sung words and body rhythms. Harpist Rebecca Fay Squire commissioned him with a grant from the American Harp Society to write a work combining the Trinity Boys Choir with Harpeggios, her student harp ensemble. Thus came to life Three Sparkles for the Season, three movements of spiritual yet secular celebration of the highest human aspirations toward the light: A Time for Peace, Star Bright and Jubilate. The choral parts may also be sung by girl or women’s choir. You can listen to the premiere recording on our website.
