The seven songbooks are approximately five hours in length, and constitute George Crumb’s magnum opus. Also on this CD is Crumb’s Idyll for the Misbegotten. The composer writes that “flute and drum are to me those instruments which most powerfully evoke the voice of nature. I have suggested that ideally (even if impractically) my Idyll should be heard from afar, over a lake, on a moonlit evening in August”.
The Sleeper, with words by Edgar Allan Poe, transforms Poe’s lugubrious meditation on a dead beloved (“Soft may the worms about her creep!”) into a haunting ode to a woman slumbering beneath the “mystic moon”.
