Program NoteCommissioned by and premiered by soprano Tobe Malawista, with baritone Scott Murphree and pianist Richard Lalli, on a 'Mirror Visions' concert at Weill Recital Hall on 14 April 1996, this congenial musicalization of the beloved 'balcony scene' of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet creates a delightful, pastoral context for the parting of the two lovers.
