Burning Sled

Consisting of two highly lyrical, rapturously romantic settings of Virginia Woolf and Isak Dinesan for soprano, cello, and piano, this 18 minute work was originally commissioned by the Bill Douglas Dancers as the ballet score And the Air. It was premiered under that title at the Merce Cuningham Dance Studio at the Westbeth Center for the Arts, New York, New York, on the evenings of 4-9 December 1987, conducted by the composer. The score was revised, with linking material and music conceived of purely for the dance excised, during the summer of 2005. Learn more>>>
