The Work

Lieder im Entgleiten (Songs While Slipping Away)—an extensive and opulent song cycle for baritone and orchestra.
In three parts, the work tells a story—a story of the celebration of life, of slipping away, of amazement and transfiguration.
The lyricism of the art songs are juxtaposed with dramatically performed texts, semi-staged action, and direct address to the audience, which is captivatingly drawn into the action, surrounded by sound from music on stage, sound from afar, and texts rising from offstage.
