Listen to the concert performance.

Suite from Razumov (Act One) derives from three scenes from Act One of Razumov, Bartholomew's chamber opera. The Far North Land is based on a favorite hiking melody sung by the composer's father. The Far North Land was also performed by the odeonquartet as a preview on the radio program, "Live By George," hosted by George Shangrow on Classic KING 98.1 FM, which was broadcast around the world on the internet on the evening of October 20, 2003.

"The 21st Century (A Girl Born in Afghanistan)" was selected as a Finalist in the inaugural New Choral Music Competition at Briar Cliff University. The piece was performed on May 2, 2003, at the Orpheum Theatre, Sioux City, Iowa, by the Briar Cliff University Chamber Singers under the direction of Dr. Mark Simmons. Listen to their recording.

The piece is a choral setting of excerpts from UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Nobel Peace Prize Lecture. Kofi Annan was the featured guest speaker at the event. The event, marking the 310th anniversary of the founding of the College by King William III and Queen Mary II of Great Britain, also featured College Chancellor Henry Kissinger.
