This theatrical miniature has carved a unique place in music literature, thanks to many warm hearts and minds. In 2005 the distinguished violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins started a project called Music Kitchen where the homeless and needy, after a meal provided by a soup kitchen, were treated to a concert performed by some of the best musicians in New York. After these concerts, Hall-Tompkins asked the listeners for comments. This became inspiration for Zwilich�??s MUSIC KITCHEN INTERPLAY, which includes vocal settings of listeners�?? comments in musical counterpoint with reworked fragments of her Fantasy for Solo Violin.
In 2005 the wonderful violinist, Kelly Hall-Tompkins, started a project called Music Kitchen where needy (often homeless) people, after a meal provided by a Soup Kitchen, were treated to a concert performed by some of the best musicians in New York. After the concerts, Kelly asked the listeners if they had any comments, and she saved these.To celebrate of 10 years of the project, in 2015 Kelly asked a number of composers to write a composition for Music Kitchen. I loved the idea, and I was particularly inspired by the comments that the listeners had made.The premiere of Music Kitchen Interplay featured Kelly�??s performance, based on my Fantasy for Solo Violin, with audience comments (like �??never been so close to a violin�?�) given voice by the outstanding Bass, Mark Risinger. The music is meant to celebrate the receptiveness and understanding of our fellow humans who, like me, need music to enrich our lives.

Of all the souls was written for and performed at the wedding of its composer and lyricist (Ed and Alice Newton-Rex) in 2016. The profound and vow-like text encapsulates the essence of a fulfilled search and a shared journey ahead and is presented vividly through a largely homophonic texture with the composer's characteristic close and exquisite harmonic language. Whether for sacred or secular marriage ceremonies, receptions, or concerts themed around love and unity, Of all the souls is certain to stir deep emotions within singers and captivate the hearts of listeners.
