Thre Bee Songs is a choral work in three movements set to three poems by Emily Dickinson — Bee! I'm Expecting You, Burnished Carriage, and Buccaneers of Buzz. The unassuming bee represents a spectrum of emotions from somber to energized. The final movement features the "buzzing" of the chorus, achieved through hocketed part writing.
