Pontchartrain for flute choir (optional drums and any bass instrument in C) is a narrative that depicts the rebuilding of New Orleans. This melodic work begins with a slow section describing the devastation of hurricane Katrina, followed by a traditional New Orleans ‘Second Line’ romp where the choir is transformed into a street brass band.
