I worked on composition of a few arias in the late winter, spring and early summer of 1997 while maintaining a full work load of solo piano concerts and composition. The singer I was writing with moved to California to pursue an opera company and I moved to Seattle to write short stories and breathe. You know those song bird escapees from a gilded cage dreaming of greener fields...
