The Change
A New Year's Eve Happening,
with 6 works on time

---45 minutes of pre-party music---
works by David Fulmer, Terry Champlin, Frank Brickle, Chris Botta, Rebekah Driscoll,
William Anderson, Bela Bartok
Anderson's Unexpected Reunion for voices, guitars, violin & cello, William Anderson's musical treatment of Johann Peter Hebel's famous story.

 

This story deals with the passage of time through nested loves and deaths, which is why Richard Wagner made a prose sketch for a 3-act opera based on the Hoffmann version of this story. synopsis And it deals with recent events--the long list of bank failures, the Obama election-- --by rolling them into  a fast-paced duet for two tenors.
