These songs use three lines from Anna Edes by Deszö Kostolanyi (trans. George Szirtes) and set the scene for the novel’s plot set in post-World War I Budapest. I intended them as a study work in preparation for composing a full-length opera, Sweet Anna, based on the novel, which is in collaboration with librettist Kendra Preston Leonard. 19 pp. including parts.
These three pieces (also title “… revolutionary scarlet”) were composed as explorations of themes and characters for the Opera-in-Progress, Sweet Anna. 8 pp.
