Product Description

"Heggie may prove to be contemporary opera's savior." -- Chicago Tribune One of the leading American composers of his generation, Jake Heggie arrives on Avie with a gorgeous collection of new songs performed by a stunning array of international vocalists. Fresh from the success of the Dallas Opera premiere of his Moby Dick, the Guggenheim Fellowship recipient describes this collection as "songs that tell stories about now and then." Indelibly associated with his acclaimed operas, including Dead Man Walking (Top 10 Billboard Classical Chart), Three Decembers, and The End of the Affair, Jake's heart and soul lie in storytelling through song. With lyrics and poetry by A.E. Housman, Terrence McNally, and Rainer Maria Rilke, these songs reflect the great American songbook tradition, replete with striking observations of life's journeys. Upcoming performance October 15, 2010 at the 31st Anniversary Gala of San Francisco Performances, Inc. Multiple performances in January- April 2011 with the Houston Grand Opera, at New York's Carnegie Hall, and with the Seattle Men's Chorus.
