Sorrel Hays
About this work:
M.O.M. 'N P.O.P. (Music Only Music, Piano Only Piano) was written on commission of the 1984 Pro Music Nova Festival Bremen. It may be performed as a suite for 3 pianos; or as a theater scene with 3 pianos, 16 mm. film, tape and mime. The narrated text of the scena details the pianist's life whimsically, in its pleasures and related angst. A recording of the suite is on a cd album from Centaur Records, with Sorrel Hays, Loretta Goldberg and Margaret Tan performing.
