1999 Three Summers Heat for soprano and electronics Centaur CRC 2454Susan Narucki, soprano
Three Summers Heat, for mezzo or soprano and tape, was inspired by the sultry seaonal poetry of Tzu Yeh, a fifth century Chinese poet. Her images of summer and the stages of romantic relationship are brief but telling. Each of the seven poems focuses on a particular mood which I have tried to amplify through the text setting.
