Notes from the composer about Sod Poodle:
After moving to Lubbock in 2016, I enjoyed many adventures in the panhandle of Texas. Caprock Canyon State Park features a bison herd that roams the plains. Palo Duro Canyon State Park is the second largest canyon in the country. The beautiful back country hiking and camping featured wild Longhorn cattle, Aoudad, large coyote and the famous Lighthouse formation, known to geologists as a hoodoo. One of my favorite new creatures was discovered while golfing the Meadowbrook Creek Course, known as the Old Squirrel Hollow. This public golf course is part of Mackenzie Park, which is home to a herbivorous burrowing ground squirrel called a Prairie Dog. Sod Poodle, is the regional nickname for a Prairie Dog. The park's dedicated "Prairie Dog Town" has been a tourist attraction since the early 1930's.
Sod Poodle for Flute Choir captures the spirit of the "Prairie Dog Town" community and the life of a Sod Poodle from the most busy to the most serene. The composition was requested by Lisa Garner Santa for the Texas Tech University Flute Choir. It was premiered on Friday, August 4th, 2023 at the National Flute Association conference in Phoenix, Arizona under the direction of Lisa Garner Santa.
