Recital
The audio samples below are taken from a recital entitled "Another Reason I Don't Keep a Gun in the House and Other Musings". Despite the title, the recital was not about guns or gun control. But rather, the literature picked for this recital all contained a common denominator: something that can get under your skin until it drives you crazy (or you find a gun). This could be love, passion, anger, depression, money, lust, rejection, or extreme isolation. The theme was inspired by Tom Cipullo's set: Another Reason Why I Don't Keep a Gun in the House, which features the delightful poems of Billy Collins. For the final set, I arranged three songs for accordion, clarinet, and voice as an 'homage' to the cabaret tradition - beautiful songs, with a powerful inner message. I enjoyed finding and performing all of these songs. I hope you enjoy them too!
