2016 — "Sanctus: Forced Removal" is one movement of Requiem for America, presented here with greatly reduced forces: UWW Chamber Singers (s.a.t.b. chorus), Native American singers, Native American percussion, Native American flute, and string quartet (no orchestra). The text is a telegram sent by Chief Standing Bear to President Hayes asking why the Ponca were being forcibly removed from their home on the Niobrara River under threat of death. The video was a workshopped presentation at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Robert H. Gehrenbeck conducting. The workshopped score was reduced from full orchestra to string quartet.
