Wendell Berry poem contributes to choral work, "Seven Songs for Planet Earth"

"A few years ago, while searching for a text for a piece commissioned by the Syracuse Vocal Ensemble, I came across some of Berry's poems," Kortekangas said. "Didn't know his work, had never heard of him, so it was 'love at first sight.' I think he's a great poet, a great thinker and somebody who lives the way he preaches, which is rare."
