Jennifer Bellor (Music) composed a piece, "Chase the Stars,"  that recently was awarded The American Prize in the orchestra category. Written for soprano, rapper, flute, bass clarinet, string quartet, percussion, electric guitar, electric bass, and drums, "Chase the Stars" was commissioned by ShoutHouse in 2015, and Bellor later recorded the piece with rapper Rasar Amani, along with UNLV students and faculty, for her album "Stay." The text is from the poem, "Ah, Why Because the Dazzling Sun" by Emily Brönte, with original lyrics by Amani.
