A Rare Masterpiece
a new EP from NYFOS Records coming soon!
A PICNIC CANTATA
a midcentury masterwork by Paul Bowles
This seven-movement work balances sensuality with innocence and lightness with hints of foreboding. Bowles’ music dips into the exotic sounds of Morocco and Ceylon, Poulenc-style post-impressionism, and pure American tunefulness to paint the journey, and Schuyler’s libretto melds the directness of Gertrude Stein with the fantasy of Maurice Sendak, allowing simple things to become paradoxical and mysterious.

El dulce de América
feat. Jennifer Aylmer, Oren Fader, James Saporito, and Steven Blier
