 ter Residency present the world premiere of A Rural Requiem \, co-sponsore
 d by SMU Libraries and Clements Center for Southwest Studies. \nThe 11-mov
 ement work by Cody Criswell-Badillo\, performed by the East Coast ensemble
  earspace under the direction of Richard Drehoff\, maps the structure of a
  traditional requiem onto the music and stories of rural Texas. Drawing fr
 om Texas folk traditions\, Baptist hymns\, corridos and shape-note tunes\,
  the piece unfolds as a communal elegy\, equal parts remembrance and renew
 al. Scored for violin\, viola\, cello\, flute\, oboe\, clarinet\, piano\,
  percussion\, and guitar\, it weaves sung vignettes with instrumental move
 ments\, each one echoing the voices of people and places that shaped the c
 omposer’s life. \nDeveloped during Criswell-Badillo’s 2024 residency in Co
 rsicana and inspired by his years in the oilfields of Texas and the Midwes
 t\, A Rural Requiem reflects his roots in the working-class cultures of th
