156 - Sunday Excursion (2010)
from WILDERWORLD Hosted by Alec Wilder
Libretto by Arnold Sundgaard, Music by Alec Wilder Written in 1953 "Sunday Excursion has been written specifically as a companion piece for those operas, serious in tone but modest in length, which demand a curtain-raiser for their effective presentation. Serving, as it does, the function of welcoming the audience to the theater, it strives to achieve, through the character of its music and story, a lightness of touch and a friendliness of tone." Performed April 11, 2010 at the 25th Annual Friends of Alec Wilder Concert by Aaron Gandy conductor, piano; Maria Dessena piano; David Auxier, Michael Batusic, Sara Delaney, Tessa Faye and Chris Vaughn vocals Recorded by David Litofsky (thank you!)
