With his musical setting Nachtlicher Himmel based on words from a letter by Vincent van Gogh, Rolf Rudin ventures into downright impressionist terrain. Just as the famous painter creates literary images with his letters and knows how to visualize landscapes and frames of mind, the award-winning composer knows how to musically capture such moods and atmospheres. His composition for two- to four-part women's choir (SSAA) and piano lives on dynamic nuances, changes of time, chromaticism and triplet figures as well as harp-like arpeggios which give the work a mystical quality. Due to its chord progressions with great chromaticism, the choral part of this c. 4-minute work contains some intonational obstacles which are worth negotiating while holding out the prospect of a unique sound experience.

Kitimbua Kivumbiis a Swahili phrase that loosely translates as 'Stomp the Dust'. This work was inspired by a trip the composer, Shawn Okpebholo, took to Kenya where he studied the music of the Akamba living in the Machakos region. It was the Second Place Winner of the 2016 American Prize in Composition (orchestral division). Okpebholo is the recipient of the 2021 Walter Hinrichsen Award which is bestowed by the American Academy of Arts and Letters annually. A performance of the work by the Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra can be viewed on YouTube.
