Can a composer imagine a more satisfying experience than mine last night in Town Hall? A capacity crowd listened carefully as I accompanied three friends in a whole program of my songs. Donald Gramm in white tie sang a group of Theodore Roethke and Paul Goodman poems, Beverly Wolff in green satin sang Poems of Love and the Rain and Phyllis Curtin in black velvet sang a miscellany. Then together we performed the premiere of Some Trees (John Ashbery) for three voices and piano, and everyone clapped long and loud, after which we all went to Virgil's at the Chelsea for cold salmon, cheese, white wine and chocolate cakes (paid for by Boosey & Hawkes). |
