String Orchestra, SATB Choir, Pipe Organ, Harp & Percussion – Cherokee Language
Composed in 2024 by Anjelica Lindsey, the first Native American woman from the United States to write a requiem and the world’s first Requiem in the Cherokee language.
A Statement from Anjelica Lindsey on REQUIEM:
”REQUIEM (ANALENISGVI) is an audacious act of cultural reclamation, forcing the classical world to reckon with an Indigenous language from a woman composer in a space where it has never existed. As the first requiem in Cherokee, this work does preserves an at-risk language and asserts its place in the highest echelons of symphonic music, dismantling narratives that Indigenous languages belong only to history. REQUIEM is a challenge to the classical establishment, proving that Indigenous expression belongs on the grandest of stages. REQUIEM sets a precedent for the future of classical music; one where marginalized languages and cultures are no longer sidelined but take center stage in shaping its evolution.”
LOVE INCANTATIONS – for String Orchestra & Voice
In Progress, 2025
A five-movement impressionist work inspired by the Cherokee Love Incantations (1964, Jack Kilpatrick & Anna Gritts Kilpatrick). Drawing from mystical symmetry and reclaimed incantations of the Oklahoma Cherokees, the work explores cycles of life, emotional depth, romance, and spiritual connection, continuing thematic concerns first expressed in REQUIEM.
MODERN PEOPLE: Post-Assimilation Music
Symphonic works with voice – In Progress, 2025
A collection of songs for orchestra and voice exploring contemporary Indigenous identity, emotional depth, and reclamation of space within the symphonic tradition. Anthemic yet meditative, the works tackle personal and cultural truths while redefining the canon for women and Indigenous composers.
