Composed by John David Earnest. Secular, 21st century. Octavo. 5 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #7703-6E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.7703-6E).Conceived over lunch at the Oak Room in the famed Algonquin Hotel in New York City, Songs of Sophistication is an homage by poet Robert Bode and composer John David Earnest to the wit and verbal swordplay of the members of the "Algonquin Round Table" of the 1920s. Such literary luminaries as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, George S. Kaufman, Robert E. Sherwood, Alexander Woollcott, and Harold Ross met for lunch daily at the Algonquin to discuss the affairs of the day and to trade delicious bon mots. The five songs in this set explore such sophisticated topics as travel, food, love, language, and the true nature of genius, subjects that surely would have been discussed, dissected, satirized, and parodied by the brilliant circle of friends at the Round Table. Contents: Cuisine d:amour 2:25 The Poet:s Choice (with apologies to Ogden Nash) 2:00 A Poet to His Muse 2:40 Love Song 3:00 Inspiration 2:00.
