The first movement sets the poem \"Ballad of Birmingham\" by Dudley Randall, written from the points of view of one of the Birmingham bombing's young victims and of her mother; the second sets a new text, \"The Rain,\" written for this piece by South Carolina's first poet laureate, Marcus Amaker, in memory of the victims of the Charleston massacre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Black Churches was composed for baritone Will Liverman, who commissioned the piece, and pianist Paul Sanchez, who gave the work its streaming premiere together in June 2020.

It offers a contemporary response to Alborada del gracioso, reimagining Ravel's Spanish-inflected style through my own cultural and musical lens. Composed during the 2020–2021 pandemic, the piece reflects both nostalgia for a world paused and hope for one revived. It weaves elements of my Nigerian and African American musical heritage with the fiery rhythms and textures of flamenco, inspired by my travels to the Catalan region of Spain. The piece serves as both a dreamscape and a longing—for movement, cultural exchange, and artistic connection. Listeners may hear echoes of Ravel's influence in the repeated notes, glissandi, and virtuosic flair, all reframed within my Afro-flamenco voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yellow Einstein Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42126646476879,"sku":"YEP1004","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a846e2aa11177c7d9504ecf000d3ef16.jpg?v=1750246209"},{"product_id":"okpebholo-crooked-shanks-yellow-einstein-press","title":"Okpebholo: Crooked Shanks","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/shawn-okpebholo\"\u003eShawn Okpebholo (1981-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crooked Shanks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrooked Shanks is a solo piano work commissioned by the Newport Classical Music Festival and inspired by the remarkable life of Newport Gardner (born Occramer Marycoo), an enslaved African who became a classically trained musician and the first African American to publish a Western-style composition. Named after his enslaver and the city of his captivity, Gardner overcame tremendous odds—eventually gaining his freedom, achieving success, and returning to Africa. The piece takes its title and inspiration from Gardner's own joyful tune Crooked Shanks, reimagined through my compositional voice. Written for Cuban pianist Aldo López-Gavilán, the work draws on the shared African and Latin musical roots of Gardner, López-Gavilán, and myself. At its heart, the piece is a tribute to resilience, creativity, and the enduring journey toward freedom and home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yellow Einstein Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42126646509647,"sku":"YEP1003","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/2be23b66a4e2cf1a202e76b3f60caa3c.jpg?v=1750248242"},{"product_id":"okpebholo-ritual-dances-curnow","title":"Okpebholo: Ritual Dances","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/shawn-okpebholo\"\u003eShawn Okpebholo (1981-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003eConcert Band\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e073999540079\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.0\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eExplore challenging new territory with \u003cem\u003eRitual Dances\u003c\/em\u003e by Shawn E.

Tanner, one of the first African American artists to gain international acclaim, often depicted scenes of quiet reflection and deep spirituality—qualities that resonate with my musical language. The painting portrays an elder and a young boy seated in prayerful communion, embodying gratitude amid hardship. I imagine their exchange as a sacred intergenerational moment—rich with stories, wisdom, and silent questions. This piece captures that intimacy through shifting moods: soulful, reflective, animated, and weighty.

My approach in crafting this piece was not to focus on text painting (though subtle instances are present); rather, I sought to capture the essence of the poem's meaning. Nonaka describes Harvard Square with a single, evocative word: resonance. While \"resonance\" is a familiar concept in music and sound, it also carries broader, more figurative meanings—evoking images, memories, and emotions. Nonaka beautifully conveys these ideas through her poetry, and through my music, I aimed to embody these layers of resonance as well, using musical colors, soundscapes, and imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yellow Einstein Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42435053092943,"sku":"YEP1007","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/11db3c5fbf7454c432c96ae52baebe47.jpg?v=1752090330"},{"product_id":"okpebholo-songs-in-flight-yellow-einstein-press","title":"Okpebholo: Songs in Flight","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/shawn-okpebholo\"\u003eShawn Okpebholo (1981-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vocal Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano, Soprano, Baritone, Countertenor\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Songs in Flight (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Bound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eSongs in Flight is a twelve-movement song cycle for soprano, countertenor, baritone, and piano, inspired by Freedom on the Move—a vast Cornell University archive of over 30,000 newspaper ads seeking to recapture self-emancipated individuals.

Curated by Tsitsi Ella Jaji, the text setting includes her own poetry, haiku sequences by Crystal Simone Smith, and a powerful poem by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tyehimba Jess. The music, while cohesive in structure and motif, reflects the poets' varied voices—offering historical narrative, contemporary insight, and personal reflection.
