For SATB with piano and percussion. Kelvin Grove was composed on a commission from the Texas Christian University School of Music (Richard Gipson, director), for the TCU Concert Chorale, as part of the choral cycle ‘Scotia Songs’. The collection uses Scottish folk poetry and tunes, and traces a love story from the perspective of a man who must ultimately leave his beloved Scottish homeland. Kelvin Grove finds the lovers preparing to escape to their favorite getaway; yet in the final verse we realize that he must soon leave both his lover and his home. The love story follows the passion he has for his lost lover, but also his attachment to his cherished homeland.
