Title NameDUPLICATE; SEE EBM0670038: Wedding, A: (full orchestration)
Marketing CopyBased on the motion picture by Robert Altman and John Considine. World Premiere: Lyric Opera of Chicago, Dennis Russell Davies conducting, Dec. 11, 2004 “A Wedding is his best operatic score to date: accessible, singable, eclectic, consistently inventive and great fun.” — Chicago Tribune “…half ironic, half tender, and fully enchanting…” — The New Yorker “Audience laughter sprang not only from the hilarious plot situations but from the witty, perceptive libretto by Arnold Weinstein and [Robert] Altman, as well as from Bolcom’s frothy concoction of musical styles … Bolcom’s music swings and sways. It rocks and rolls. It dances a snappy samba. The wedding ceremony reels to a pompous march. It’s all in good fun — sort of a Bernstein meets Gershwin meets the Beatles.” —Charles H. Parsons, Opera News Online [Indiana University production, February 2008] Reduced Orchestration also available: 2*2*2**2 22**11* 2Perc(Timp) Kybd Str; onstage 5-pc dance band
