Recital programs

BIRD SONGS
Birds — those multifarious creatures of song and flight — have inspired the lyrics of this program. The nightingale that sings through the night, the lark that sings first in the morning, the swan that sings only before dying, the stork that brings messages, the hummingbird that drinks the nectar of flowers, as well as amorous turtledoves, waddling ducks, and chattering swallows, are the apparent subjects of these songs. Humans, however, lie just beneath the surface of each lyric, since in each of these avian characters we have seen ourselves.
Composers include: Alabiev, Berlin, Bishop, Brahms, Chabrier, Chausson, Duke, Granados, Grieg, Hahn, Lennon/McMartney, Milhaud, Puccini, Wolf.

STRADDLING THE PYRENEES
French music with Spanish dance rhythms, Spanish music with flavors of Debussy, a little American perspective, and some castanet playing complete this program.
Composers include: Berlioz, Mompou, Poulenc, Ravel, Rorem, Turina.

WORDS AND MUSIC
