Butterfly for soprano
voice and clarinet. Music by Lori Laitman and texts by children of
the Holocaust. Arsis Press, 2002,
SS. Includes two parts in score format. Originally written for voice
and saxophone, the composer has

and musical styles. The composer writes: "One cannot help but be
touched by the hope and innocence that these children put into their
poetry, despite their terrible surroundings. The accompaniment of the
saxophone is intended to be haunting and soulful, with echoes of
Klezmer music." The song titles are: The Butterfly, Yes--That's the Way
Things Are, Birdsong, Man Proposes, God Disposes, and The Old House.
The first performance was at John Hopkins University in 1996 with
soprano Lauren Wagner and saxophonist Gary Louie, for whom the piece
was written. |
