Nigerian Scam Cycle (2011)<\/strong>, for high voice and piano, is a novelty song cycle based on texts that found me. I began collecting the subject lines of spam and phishing e-mails after noticing the character of these often humorous and audacious messages. In the lyrics, I preserved the original capitalization and grammar. Sometimes, someone’s e-mail trash can be another’s treasure. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

The vocal range is from C4-C6. The high C appears at the very end of the cycle (ff).<\/p>\n

This cycle was premiered by Deborah Mae Hill, soprano, with the composer at the piano, in University of Louisville’s Comstock Hall on October 19, 2011.<\/p>\n

\nIII. MY HEART CHOOSING TO BLESS YOU
\nIV. LET’S DO THIS BUSINESS WITH TRUST
\nV. Boost your ego<\/p>\n
