A Carnegie Hall-premiered (2010) and recorded (2010) tenor-and-piano setting of Hopkins’s “Spring and Fall,” "Margaret" transforms a child’s grief over autumn leaves into a spare, piercing meditation on mortality, memory, and the first knowledge of loss.

Premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2015, "Fantasia on Celtic Themes" reworks traditional Celtic songs for soprano, tenor, and baritone, turning folk material into a cohesive dramatic journey of longing, love, and ritual memory.

In "Easter 1916," Georgia Shreve sets W.B. Yeats for soprano, tenor, baritone, and chamber orchestra, transforming a canonical political poem into a layered vocal drama of witness, grief, and historical change. Premiered at Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall (May 2017), the work’s recurring refrain, “A terrible beauty is born,” evolves from observation into moral reckoning with each return.

Georgia Shreve’s "Fern Hill" sets Dylan Thomas’s poem as a single, sweeping dramatic arc, beginning in pastoral radiance and ending in time-bound reckoning. Equally effective in concert and staged contexts, the work balances textual fidelity with emotionally precise musical storytelling.

A full-length musical portrait of female life across generations, "The Lives of a Woman" combines ensemble-driven structure, character doubling, and recurring musical motifs to create a cyclical, emotionally layered journey from childhood wonder to mortality and memory.
