COMPOSITION

Leighanne’s work draws on harmonies inspired by Protestant hymnody, the film scores of her childhood, and the Golden Age of American Popular Song. She particularly loves melding jazz-influenced chromaticism with traditional choral voice leading, and her experience in film scoring and ambient electronica always informs her pieces. Above all else, Leighanne’s expertise in interpreting songs from a wide range of traditions as a singer allows her to set texts with poignance and intelligence.
