Hanson, H: Merry Mount, Op. 31

The plot of his 1933 opera, Merry Mount, set in New England in 1625 during a conflict between the Puritans and the Cavaliers, is anything but merry. However, the composer described the music as “warm-blooded…essentially a lyrical work [that] makes use of broad melodic lines as often as possible”.

Lauren Flanigan, Walter MacNeil, Richard Zeller & Charles Robert Austin

Seattle Symphony Chorale, Northwest Boychoir, Seattle Girls’ Choir & Seattle Symphony, Gerard Schwarz

September 2007

“Good tunes and the Devil combine in an unabashed romantic American rarity. The leading roles are splendidly characterised by Lauren Flanigan and Richard Zeller, well supported in a rehabilitation that is a credit to all involved.”
