Embarrassed of the Whole
After 3 years of experiments and phases, a libretto by Esther Neff was given to me, over 60 pages of material making up 3 full-length operas.
This is a demo of the first movement of the opera, finished at Yaddo in 2018 and recorded by the composer during the next year:

This is a recording made by the composer of the aria at the center of the opera, “Jan Smuts’ Begrudgingly Included Aria”
