Story: A first time mother-to-be, whose psyche has been scarred by the loss of her pilot-father in Vietnam, must break free from anxiety to embrace healing and renewal for the sake of her husband and child in this original story unfolding over a 30-year period beginning in 1966. Amelia interweaves one woman’s emotional journey, the American experience in Vietnam, and elements of the Daedalus and Icarus myth to explore man’s fascination with flight and the dilemmas that arise when vehicles of flight are used for exploration, adventure, and war. With an intensely personal libretto by American poet Gardner McFall (The Pilot’s Daughter), whose father was a Navy pilot lost during Vietnam, this new American opera moves from loss to recuperation, paralysis to flight, as the protagonist, Amelia, ultimately embraces her life and the creative force of love and family.

Hagen: Alive in a Moment - Voice & String Quartet - Score & Parts *NEW PRODUCT* Composed at Yaddo during July of 2003, Hagen's song cycle for baritone and string quartet Alive in a Moment functions both as an instrumental string quartet and as a traditional song cycle. In seven movements, based on the poetry of W.H. Auden, the entire work develops three musical ideas given at the outset: a rhythmic tattoo in the violin, what the composer calls a 'smudged melody,' created by adding trills to each successive note of the melody, and heavy glissandi. Formally, the central movement is an instrumental interlude flanked parenthetically by the outer movements. Commissioned by the Amernet Society and Northern Kentucky University for Paul Kreider and the Amernet String Quartet, the cycle was first performed on 8 October 2003 at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky. more>>> |
