@baritonebynight Thank you! It is indeed "fiendishly difficult" (for both singer and pianist) - took me my entire senior year to work this cycle up. It's incredibly fulfilling to sing, though, and I definitely plan to keep it in my rep!

Fiendishly difficult music to sing. I heard the very talented soprano You-Seong Kim perform this work in recital and remember the page turners eyes get HUGE at one point and she looked scared She later confessed "I can't believe that Ms Kim was actually going to have to SING the music I saw printed on the next page". Gutsy music for a Sr Recital.....I hope you keep this in your repertoire!
