About the Book

This 13-minute song cycle for baritone and piano is an homage to Leonard Bernstein for the centennial celebration of his life. Arias and Barcarolles was Bernstein's last composition. The final movement of that work is a wordless "Nachspiel." This cycle begins and ends with a nod to that work...conjuring the spirit of Lenny for the performance and then reflecting on his life and words at the end. Art's place in society always comes into question, especially during tense political and social times. But for every unanswered question, it seems that Bernstein always had an answer.
About the Author: Evan Mack is the composer and librettist of Angel of the Amazon which premiered in May 2011 by Encompass New Opera Theatre at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City and has been released worldwide by Albany Records. Since then, he teamed up with librettist, Joshua McGuire to write theatre grounded in climactic expression that delivers larger-than-life stories and music that harnesses the full athletic thrill of singing. The Secret of Luca, which premiered by Fresno State Opera Theatre in 2014. In August 2016, their American grand opera, Roscoe, premiered at the Seagle Music Colony to rave reviews. It later received a concert performance with the Albany Symphony and Met Opera superstar Deborah Voigt. In between these two large-scale projects, Mack & McGuire also found time to compose the first- ever opera for Twitter, #IsOperaDead-an opera in 5 acts lasting one minute and forty seconds. Their latest enterprise is a multi-cultural Christmas opera for children, Lucinda y las Flores de la Nochebuena, which will premiere to thousands of children on both coasts in the 2016-17 season. Mack & McGuire are currently drafting a new one-act opera entitled The Ghosts of Gatsby, slated to premiere in 2018.
