Children of the Moon is composed for baritone voice, flute, clarinet, viola, cello, and piano and features text from Cather's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, One of Ours.

As part of the 67th annual Spring Conference, Ellenwood will be in Red Cloud on Saturday afternoon to discuss his composition and process; his talk is free and open to the public. Or, you may view Ellenwood's talk digitally at the link below.
