Descripción de la:
When commissioned by UC Berkeley to compose a major work; Steven Stucky turned to the poetry of Lithuanian-Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz. One of Stucky's favorite writers; Milosz fled to the US in 1960; and joined the Berkeley faculty in 1961. He was still at Berkeley; his poems still banned back home in Poland; when he won the Nobel Prize in 1980. Many of his poems are dark; and some deal with the Holocaust. The Stars and the Roses sets three lighter; more lyrical poems for tenor and orchestra: 'Happiness;' 'The Sun;' and 'The Bird Kingdom;' texts positively aglow with joy and tenderness. Comissioned by Berkeley Symphony; Joana Carneiro; Music Director; with funding from Music Alive; a national residency program of the League of American Orchestras and Meet the Composer.
