| The score for "The People's Room" (MPR photo/Michael Barone) |

Barnett wrote the work for percussion, winds, strings and chorus singing in twelve different languages. She told Minnesota Public Radio's Karl Gehrke that the work was inspired by a German saying painted on a Capitol wall. To listen to the interview, choose the audio link in the right column.
