The Orphan of TulsaThe Orphan of Tulsa is Reggie Graham's thesis composition. It is a musical portrayal of a fictionalized orphan's first day after a predominantly African American section of Tulsa was burned to the ground in 1921. Many of the compositional techniques acquired through Reggie's studies and experiences as a composition student of Dr. Stephen Blumberg are employed in this composition. His purpose for composing a work for this instrumentation is to explore orchestral scoring techniques in composing music which depicts dawn, morning, afternoon and evening. Music sample: |
