Long Live the Queen (a her-story of drag) Part 1 Ending excerpt
Long Live the Queen (a her-story of drag): a collaboration between composer Andrea Clearfield and drag artist/librettist and costume designer, Cookie Diorio, will, in its completed form, be an hour-long work scored for drag soloist, chorus and chamber orchestra. The work will explore a unique intersection of opera, multimedia cantata, drag and cabaret presented in three periods: 1. Before (When), 2. Now (Conflict), and 3. Forward (Where). The Prologue, composed at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and Part 1, at The Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center Residency had its premiere in a reduced scoring with the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Choir on May 17-18, 2024 at Suzanne Roberts Theater in Philadelphia This is an excerpt from that performance. The dynamic work will create a vision for understanding, acceptance and social and cultural change in light of increased discrimination of drag events and performers in the U.S. Cookie and Andrea are seeking funding to complete Parts 2 and 3.

    Sounds like a graduate level academic singing and conducting exercise. It's missing a connection to the listener.

    As a seasoned listener to choral music, I recognize the beautiful sounds, the dissonance, the act of beautiful music making of an advanced, complicated piece; all that is happening but as the listener I'm left feeling...... bewildered and unsatisfied. When it comes to new music I often find myself asking, "what about the listener?"

    This piece gives me more joy than I can describe. I had the honor of learning this piece in choir and we performed it out in nature which added a peacefulness and stillness that I have hardly ever felt before. Tse Go La is such an incredible piece that I hope to be able to sing again in a choir setting.

    What does „HVATI“ mean?

    • @andreaclearfield
      @andreaclearfield 5 років тому

      It means "catalyst" or "motivator" in Old Norwegian. The tuba initiates the movement.

    This piece deserves more love! We performed it in Princeton Girlchoir and had the honor of working with the composer. It's definitely not a conventional western choir piece but we all ended up loving it. Thank you for bringing this piece into our lives!
