Martha Hill Duncan received a diploma in Vocal Music in the
first graduating class of the Houston High School for Performing and
Visual Arts and a Bachelors of Music in Composition from the University
of Texas at Austin. Her composition teachers have included Donald Grantham,
Robert Palmer and Sam Dolin; her piano teachers have included Gregory
Allen, Danielle Martin, Errol Haun and Trudi Borden. Her ongoing interest
in vocal music and recognition of her adopted country, Canada, has
culminated in a cycle of songs for voice and piano entitled Singing
From the Northland: A Celebration of Canadian Poetry in Song. Three
of these songs, "Severance," "Grey Rocks and Greyer Seas" and "Rainfall"
were chosen as finalists and performed in the 2005 Diana Barnhart American
Song Competition in Wayne, PA. As director of the Kingston, Ontario
women’s choir She Sings!,
she has also produced several works for treble choir, many based on
native Canadian texts, including "Song of the Stars," "Lady Icicle"
and "Lullaby of the Iroquois." These three songs were performed on
May 11, 2007 by the The New York Treble Singers in their concert entitled,
American Voices. Her "Star Prayers" for SSA and Piano was a co-winner
in the 2005 Ruth Watson Henderson Choral Composition Competition. Other
choirs that have commissioned her work include Aurora, Melos Chamber
Choir, Pro Arte Singers, and the Young Choristers Limestone.
