An Adamant Apple

An Adamant Apple

Voices in Canon

Program Note

Upon receiving the gift of an apple, I wrote the words and music for the madrigal, An Adamant Apple, to be sung in canon. The work is dedicated to Maxine, the apple's gifter. One of my great pleasures as a bassoonist in the 1990s was to join the San Francisco Opera's educational arm, Western Opera Theater, for their annual tours. We covered a great swatch of the United States by bus, and gave this cannon new life on those buses. For a 1988 recording released on the Second Evening Art label (SEA #1977) it was sung by Judith Nelson, Marcia Gronewold, Eric Morris, and Ed Cohen.
