(full length recording available on Spotify and Apple Music)
"The Search For IT and Other Prounouns”:
This post-minimalist opera, written, composed and produced by Harvey Goldman and Warren Lehrer, explores the search for the big ITs — power (Tag Yer IT), search for an AIDS cure (It Just Might Work), love (Hymn for Her), victory (I for an I), god (You and Me), material wealth (You Got Nothin), the ineffable (Something or Other); and other pronouns — (They, He is a She Dog). Composed with the aid of midi-synthesis, the recording features Warren Lehrerm and Harvey Goldman on digital and acoustic instruments and voice, as well as baritone Alan Seale, sopranos Patricia Ruiz, Nina Heller and Angela DeCicco, extended vocals by Stacy Schuman, spoken word by Judith Sloan and Brother Blue.
