Description
xThis cantata "God Made Rainbows" is a 45-minute exploration and celebration of the often complex emotions and experiences of folks who find dual identity in both the LGBT and Christian communities. Most of this cantata's narration and song lyrics were written by individuals who have consciously engaged with the struggle to step into a fuller expression of their inner knowing, while simultaneously dealing with the often ostracizing influence of traditional Christianity, especially in the religion's beliefs around people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. "God Made Rainbows" isn't meant to be preachy, or to give easy, simplistic answers. It is an offering of poetry and song that is meant to resonate with the deepest longings all humans share--for acceptance, love, freedom, community, and encounter with the Deepest Essence of All Life that some call God. This 45-minute-long musical experience is offered to help open our hearts to the experience of what it means to be human, and what it means to be on a spiritual journey together. This work is scored for 2 solo violins, harp, 1-2 narrators, 1-2 soprano soloists, baritone soloist, piano (optionally doubling with electric piano), and SATB choir. Here is the movement structure: 1. Interlude/Narration 1 (electric piano) 2. Prelude (for 2 violins, harp, and piano) 3. "One Day" for SATB choir, violin, and piano 4. Interlude/Narration 2 (electric piano) 5. "I Was Wondering" for soprano solo and piano 6. Interlude/Narration 3 (electric piano) 7. "Across Eternity" for baritone solo and piano 8. Interlude/Narration 4 (electric piano) 9. "God Made Rainbows" for soprano solo and piano 10. "Long Time Ago" for SATB choir and piano

By Michael David Golzmane
xMichael is a self-directed composer and performer, who since the young age of 10 has written primarily for the voice-both solo and in choral settings. At the tender age of 12, having heard that Mozart composed an opera at that age, Michael endeavored to compose an opera himself based on Shakespearean texts, completing an overture, several arias and recitatives, and suffering a persistent cold that entire winter while discovering his compositional process at the piano he had in his chilly childhood basement. Throughout college and graduate school, working as a pianist and coach with dozens of voice and opera faculty and hundreds of singers, Michael gained a greater understanding of the vocal literature and technique, incorporating what he learned into his own compositions. Since 2011, Michael has witnessed something of an explosion of musical inspiration, composing over 450 pages of solo vocal and choral music-approximately 3 hours of work. His compositional process tends to move very quickly once he catches the thread of inspiration, something which his spiritual practices help him to keep attuned to.
