My Red Boots is based on one of only several poems written by My mother, Jewish Holocaust survivor Rita Hoffman of blessed memory (1927–2018). Both she and My late father, Josef Hoffman, were Jewish Holocaust Survivors. My mother’s brief memoirs are housed at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. I have been trying to hear music for My Red Boots for decades. It is fitting that My muse cooperated with me when I was seeking a text to set to music for the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir’s 2024 call for scores, because global anti-Semitism has not been this rampant since the 1930s. During the events of October 7, 2023 in Israel, "Babies were taken from their mother's arms" just as in My mother's poem. Those with a conscience in the world must keep this evil from "happening again, and again, and again!" My Red Boots My Red Boots and ruby earrings were s...    less

O My luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou My bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will luve thee still,My dear, Till all the seas gang dry. I will luve thee still,My dear, While the sands of life shall run, Till all the seas gang dry,My dear, And rocks melt with the sun. As fair art thou My bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will come again,My luve, Though it were ten thousand mile。 我的愛人像一朵紅玫瑰， 六月裡初綻芳香。 我的愛人像一首旋律， 如此的甜美動聽。 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我愛妳永不渝，親愛的， 儘管海水已枯乾。 我仍深愛妳不渝，親愛的； 儘管生命的沙漏落不停， 儘管海水已枯乾， 儘管石頭隨烈日消融， 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我將回到妳的身邊，我的愛人， 儘管是相距千萬里。  less

The score blossomed during a fellowship at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, a pastoral setting that nurtuRed embracing the poem’s vivid landscape. The piano provides a repeating foundation over which the choir playfully evokes the spare text, using variations of the initial theme throughout. There is a contemplative moment midway, then the pulse resumes, concluding with a gleeful repetition of the last line. "The Red Wheelbarrow is a wonderfully approachable and fun piece of music. The singers of Inversion had a blast working through the rhythmic lilt and subtly beautiful harmonies, so often found in Rich Campbell's music. The clever musical interpretation brought out the wry humor of the text." Trevor Shaw, Inversion Ensemble AD  less
