dc.description.abstract	The Devil is in These Hills is a song cycle for soprano and tenor soloists, supported by chamber orchestra. The work is scored for single winds and a small string section; the title is taken from a historical work by James Green, The Devil is Here in These in Hills: West Virginia’s Coal Miners and Their Battle for Freedom. The text provides the historical context needed for the piece, which centers around the lives and struggles of Appalachian mining communities. Additionally, regional folk music elements are woven throughout the piece, which are reminiscent of traditional Appalachian songs and shape-note hymnody.	en_US
