William Shomos and Jared Hiscock co-developed a new musical adaptation of Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself. Out of Whitman’s 1350 lines of poetry, Hiscock and Shomos conceptualized and forged a libretto of just under 200 lines. The text was then set to music by composer-artist Philip Daniel. Scored for three baritones (Shomos, Hiscock, and Brandon Bell) with acoustic and synthesized keyboards, the style merges classical elements, minimalist soundscapes, cinematic qualities, and improvisation. The 45-minute work’s world premiere was launched on May 25, 2024 as the closing performance of the 2024 Salt Creek Song Festival in Ashland, Nebraska.

Performers include:
William Shomos, baritone
Jared Hiscock, baritone
Brandon Bell, guest artist baritone
Philip Daniel, composer and keyboardist
