A new edition of Nicholas Scarim's opera is now available. The opera was workshopped at Yale's Composer/Librettist Conference (Scarim was both, in this instance) and premiered by the Opera Company of Philadelphia in 1980. The premiere took place on a modular stage set designed by Isamu Noguchi, and the production was staged and choreographed by Saeko Ichinohe.<br />

Scarim's 1980 opera is now available in a spiral-bound piano/vocal edition.<br />
.<br />
Over the years, The Tiger has been performed by regional opera companies and university opera departments from California to New York. The half-hour work has been a hit with school-touring productions and special family performances.<br />
.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Synopsis: </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In a forest, three hunters are boasting about what they will do with their trophies. They spot a tiger, and give chase. Nearby, a young student named Chang is walking in the same woods, admiring the spring greenery. The tiger rushes up to Chang, and begs to hide in his traveling bag until the hunters are gone.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Even after Chang has saved his life, the ungrateful tiger nevertheless wants to eat the child. Chang points out this ingratitude, and convinces the tiger to submit to a test: they will ask three elders if this is fair.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
They first come upon some old fruit trees, then some old farm animals. Chang twice presents his case, but each time these old characters say, "Ah - it's the way of the world, youngster."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Finally, they meet an old man coming along the road. After hearing Chang's story, he says to the tiger, "This is a difficult case. Perhaps you should give me a demonstration of what happened..."</div>

This piece is subtitled "The Brooklyn Bridge," in part because the second movement was inspired by the recent ritual devised by the members of Poet's House in NYC - a "poetry museum." Here's a description of the event, which they call the Bridge Walk:<br />
.<br />
Though written before the bridge was built, Whitman's poem "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" depicts the East River passage from the Fulton Ferry Landing, where the bridge’s anchorage now stands. It is a poem about traversing many boundaries, both physical and metaphysical. This experience is (ritualized) each spring, when Poets House hosts its Bridge Walk. Just before sunset, scores of poetry lovers gather on the Manhattan side of the bridge and walk across en masse while reading poems about the bridge and the city. Once the group reaches the Fulton Ferry Landing, they listen to the entirety of "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" read aloud as the sun sets behind the stunning arc of the bridge.<br />

The second movement is Adagio. As it opens, the five instruments converge on a single note, expand outward into a full chord, and then converge again.<br />

The first movement, Allegro, has an energetic, rhythmic opening. As the movement develops, at one point there is a lyrical cello solo accompanied by all the other players on various percussion instruments.<br />

The Adagietto (first movement) begins with the interval of a minor third, which will be a prominent melodic interval throughout the four movements.<br />

The second movement is titled "Waltz" - in the place of what would often have been the Minuet movement in earlier times.<br />

.<br />
The three chords which form the basis of the whole work begin the waltz.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
The third movement is titled "Blues" - but its form is much more complex than the usual repeating twelve bar progression.<br />
.<br />

.<br />
Only at 3:18 do we actually hear a twelve measure structure, which is then repeated just once (at 3:56) before we return to what I might call “a five minute rhapsody evoking the blues.”<br />

The descending minor third in the melody and the three chords from the waltz are developed with jagged, jazzy rhythms.<br />

"It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville Nine that day.<br />
The score stood two to four, with but one inning left to play.<br />
So when Cooney died at second, and Burrows did the same<br />
A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game..."<br />

Composed in the summer of 1990, this was the only time I began a composition based on music I had heard in a dream. We were renting a cabin in upstate New York for the summer and I woke up one morning remembering several of the themes I used in this piece: the cello theme in fourths that opens the first movement; the ascending scale used in the first and third movements; and the atmosphere of quartal harmony that pervades the entire piece.<br />
.<br />
Here is the first movement:<br />

The final allegro continues to explore the themes from the opening movement:<br />
