Vocalisters, perhaps this is the time to just share something with you, and to hope it is not considered advertising, but rather a suggestion of repertoire, particularly in this case. Robert Nelson, composer, has set some lyrics which I wrote, and the result is BLUEBEARD'S DOORS, a song cycle for soprano and piano, texts inspired by the Bluebeard legend. It is now available online on a print-on-demand basis. Here are the particulars:
BLUEBEARD'S DOORS by Robert Nelson, b. 1941; Poetry by Lynda Lacy
Song cycle for soprano and piano
Catalog No. CVR 3293
Selling Agent: Classical Vocal Reprints Riverdale, NY Email: ClasVocRep@a... www.classicalvocalrep.com
I hope that this song cycle can be a valuable addition to Judy's or any other soprano's repertoire. I am aware of at least one complete performance of the work, and if anyone wants details about that, please feel free to e-mail me at: LYNDA313@a...
Thanks.
Sincerely, Lynda Lacy
