Evangeline for Soprano, Baritone and Piano

Evangeline uses excerpts from Longfellow’s poem “Evangeline.” The excerpts recount Evangeline’s immigration from Acadia, Nova Scotia, to the Cajun part of Louisiana, where she and her lover find refuge and later die.

This work was commissioned by the Lafourche Heritage ’76. It was premiered at Nichols State University in 1976.
