C​é​zanne (1997)

about

This is a setting of Gertrude Stein's "portrait" of Cézanne for tenor & string orchestra in 1997. I was a devotee of Virgil Thomson's manual on text setting "Music with Words" & both the prosody & the musical style owe a lot to old Virgil. "Cézanne" was first performed in 1998 by the Centreville High School Chamber Orchestra directed by Cheryl Cooley with Douglas Bowles as the tenor soloist.
