Good texts for art songs are difficult to find. I was playing around with some Percy Shelley poems, but then, as I was looking through Brandon Bird’s website, I found the Letters to Walken. “An Acquaintance?” Year 2 caught my eye, and the rest, as they say, is awesome.
The studio recording features soprano Megan Radowick and pianist Anna Hakobyan. The live premiere, on April 27, 2009, was performed by Megan Radowick and Nicole Valadez. The November 16, 2009 performance was provided by Megan Radowick and Saul Iruegas. And special thanks, of course, to writer Ming Doyle for graciously allowing me to use her text.
