Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate's Ámmo'naka_ (World Premiere)
Ámmo'naka_ (In a Beginning) is a new work composed for the Loyola Choirs and The EcoVoice Project by Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate. With new poetry entirely conceived in the Chickasaw language by Lokosh Hinson, Ámmo'naka_ combines Western technique and Chickasaw folk music to explore American Indian ecology and creation. Additional works by Andrew Balfour, Brent Michael Davids, and Sherryl Sewepagaham will round out the program.
In the months leading up to the premiere, Loyola will offer additional opportunities to engage with related topics, such as American Indian music traditions, ecology, and language revitalization and poetry. The concert will also be preceded by a pre-concert panel, moderated by conductor Kirsten Hedegaard and including the composer, librettist, and American Indian music scholar, Brandi Berry Benson.
