An excerpt from Dominick Argento's one-man opera, "A Waterbird Talk" as performed by Donald Collup on February 22, 1990 with Gene Young conducting the Peabody Chamber Ensemble. This excerpt includes Variations III (The Phalarope) and Variation IV (The Lecturer plays bird calls on the piano). More can be read at:

Great vocalism or theater is not promised; just an entertaining moment from a wonderful American opera.
