"This land is ours. But what is this land, and who are we? Orin the words of Maxwell Andersonhowcan you tell an American? Theres more than one answer, but an art song has more than one voicewho, perhaps, were sent to eat in thekitchen when company came, those who arrived at our sea-washed, sunset gates from far away, and thosewho left them never to returnall these and more are represented on our program. From this kaleidoscopic range of topics and creators emerge four American tableaux, interwoven with nofewer than ten world premieres."
