Neither Separated, Nor Undone by Derrick Skye*
Dixit Dominus by Marianna von Martines (1744-1812)
Dixit Dominus by W.A. Mozart
Three Village Scenes by Béla Bartók

The Los Angeles Times heralded Derrick Skye’s music as “something to savor…enormous fun to listen to”. In his sparkling new cantata, Skye surveys our troubled world and, setting his own original poetry, finds a humane and optimistic response. In dialogue, we present the first-ever Carnegie Hall performance of a luminous choral-orchestral work by Mozart’s Viennese contemporary Marianna von Martines, alongside the 18-year-old Mozart’s exuberant treatment of the same text. Rounding out the program: a toe-tapping triptych by Bartok, whom Skye has named as a source of inspiration.
