On 23 April 2011 in Morphy Recital Hall at the Humanities Building in Madison, WI, Jen Lien will sing the world premiere of my song cycle, Aubades, a setting of… er… aubades by Traci Brimhall. Lien and Fuh already performed a live reading of “Aubade with a Broken Neck,” the fourth and final song of the set, as a stand-alone version in spring 2009. I’ve since revised that one a tad and finished three others to precede it: “Aubade in a Burning House,” “Oneiromancy,” “Sonnet with Lightning and Bull Sharks.”
You can listen to an excerpt of the reading of “Broken Neck” from 2009 here.
