Lost Jewelry
for mezzo-soprano and piano

Lost Jewelry is a setting for mezzo-soprano and piano of Hilda Raz's poem of the same name. In my setting I have tried in various ways to dramatize the poem's remembrance of a lifetime's worth of losses and the consolations that accompany them in the memory.

date: 2003
duration: 7:00
premiere: May 2, 2003, New York, NY; Friends & Enemies of New Music; Barbara Kokolus - mezzo-soprano, Stephen Gosling - piano.
