Description
Each sung monologue in LOVE AND LONGING is drawn from a climactic moment in a work of classic literature. "Whatever our souls are made of" explores the tension between Cathy Earnshaw's love for Heathcliff, and sense of duty to marry Edgar Linton, in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. LOVE AND LONGING was conceived as a single work in three parts, to be performed in succession by three different singers. The complete collection is available as 411-41198, and the three monologues are available as standalone pieces in two voicings each, 111-40339 through 111-40344. These arias are well within reach for college students and young professionals, and draw on multiple musical traditions.
