Verdigris Ensemble premiered Betty’s Notebook as a live concert in 2019. The choral work is based on the notebook of Betty Klenck, a 15-year-old who heard what sounded like distress calls from Amelia Earhart as she listened to a shortwave radio in 1937. Reeves began the process of developing Betty’s Notebook into a programmable music work by listening to recordings of that concert as well as revisiting an interview with the grown-up Betty Klenck Brown as she recalled the distress calls.
