On July 14, 1861, Major Sullivan Ballou wrote a letter to his wife, Sarah, while he was stationed at Camp Clark in Washington, D.C.. One week later, Sullivan Ballou was killed at the First Battle of Bull Run (Sullivan Ballou Letter). Composer John Kander set Ballou's letter in the eight-minute vocal work, “A Letter from Sullivan Ballou.” I will submit a recording of myself singing this work with Ann Deighton on piano.
