"Excerpts from my opera Haroun and the sea of stories, rearranged for four singers and with a newly composed piano part. This latter is neither mere accompaniment nor a simple reduction of the original orchestral score, but rather a newly conceived virtuoso solo part. The selections are arranged so as to make Songbook a complete independent piece"--Booklet. Lyrics by James Fenton, based on the novel of Salman Rushdie. Elizabeth Farnum, soprano; Emily Golden, mezzo soprano; James Schaffner, tenor; Michael Chioldi, (bass) baritone; Phillip Bush, piano. Recorded Oct. 15-17, 2002, The American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York City. Compact disc. Program notes in English and texts in container.
