Description
Boosey & Hawkes is pleased to present a three-volume collection of John Adams's choruses from his world-renowned operas, edited by conductor Grant Gershon, featuring choral selections from six iconic stage works with newly arranged piano accompaniment by Chitose Okashiro.
Volume 2 features choral selections from three of Adams's most celebrated operas: Nixon in China , a dramatic imagining of President Nixon's epochal 1972 trip to China, Doctor Atomic , which visits physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the days before the testing of the atomic bomb, and A Flowering Tree , an adaptation of South Indian folktale about a beautiful girl who transforms into a tree. Selections include the hypnotic opening of Nixon in China leading into the chorus "Soldiers of Heaven," the darkly dramatic "At the Sight of This" from Doctor Atomic , and the brilliant "Flores" from A Flowering Tree.
