Amsterdam-- The art song-- scored for voice and piano-- is just the sort of refined, slightly archaic, tad decadent medium that you'd expect aesthete Oscar Wilde to take a fancy to. So one assumes he'd be flattered that composer Henry Muldrow has in his "Symphony of Sorrows" set some of Wilde's texts to song." Muldrow, an American expatriate living in Amsterdam has written a beguiling song cycle well sung by soprano Cécile van de Sant on a new CD. To set the mood for "Symphony of Sorrow," the liner notes contain an extended excerpt from Wilde's prison-written De Profundis, in which that phrase appears. But the texts of the songs are on a topic cheerier than dying in prison-- love, to be exact, and come from Wilde's The Duchess of Padua. If brevity be wit's soul, then not just the texts here are clever-- "Symphony of Sorrow" clocks in at under ten minutes. No Wagnerian Ring Cycle-- but a collection of little musical gems, possibly available at your local gay bookstore.
