How Little You Are

by Nico Muhly

Described by the composer as "an extended meditation on the words of pioneer women of the 19th century", How Little You Are was premiered in 2014. The piece, originally scored for chorus and three guitar quartets, has been reimagined in a chamber arrangement by the Dublin Guitar Quartet and features the voices of Grammy winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. /
