We're working hard on our upcoming Durham-Baltimore tour. The title of our show is <b>ONE-TRACK MIND</b>, and it will feature two brand new chamber operas by me and Ruby Fulton. Mine's about Dolly Parton, written for <a href="http://www.reluctantreceptionist.com/">Robert Maril</a>. More on that later on.<br /><br />Also on the tour will be other recent pieces written for voice and instruments. <i>We Two Boys</i>, a short song cycle for baritone and violin with words by <a href="http://prufstein.blogspot.com/">Benjamin Rogers</a> will be a part of the program. Take a listen to it below, with baritone Tom Jaynes and myself on violin. The text is inspired by a poem by Walt Whitman, and describes the life-cycle of a relationship.<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.gtlam.com/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://www.gtlam.com/player.swf"><br /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile=http://www.duke.edu/~gtl/webmusic/wetwoboys.mp3"><br /><param name="quality" value="high"><br /><param name="menu" value="false"><br /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /></object>George Lamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07602843597198278142noreply@blogger.com
