Composed by Gary Friedman. Contemporary. 34 pages. Gary Friedman #708257. Published by Gary Friedman (A0.889893).A musical setting of the poem, The Art of Disappearing, by Naomi Shihab Nye. The music attempts to express the poet's shunning of company for more pleasant solitary pursuits and is humorous in parts. I provide some lower alternative notes so that the tenor part can also be sung by a baritone. Also provided is an option for the singers to be an octave apart if singing a major 7th apart is too challenging in a short passage depicting "greasy sausage balls on a paper plate". The ensemble consists of mezzo-soprano, tenor (or baritone), flute, clarinet, horn, and piano. In addition to the piano/score used by the singers and piano, there is also a separate part for each wind instrument, which provides essential information about what some others are doing to help with coordinated playing. The audio clip is of a performance by Mimi Braverman, Brian Thompson, Sandra Kruse, Barry Kruse, Frank Lahorgue, and Gary Friedman, listed in order of the vocal parts and instruments above. Duration 6 minutes.
