The Dreamer The Dreamer is Adam Rudolph's "mythic orchestra opera." Music for The Dreamer is composed in twelve movements, each accompanying a painting with text. The text was inspired by and derived from "The Birth of Tragedy" by Friedrich Nietzche and "The World as Will and Idea" by Arthur Shopenhaur. A deeply evocative and compelling work, The Dreamer is narrated by actor Robert Wisdom. Vocals are performed by classical opera diva Kimball Wheeler and Rudolph's young daughter, Hannah. Susan Allen -- who performs with Rudolph on many of his recordings as well as in her world music ensembles -- plays the harp. Ralph Jones provides alto flute, tenor and soprano saxophones, bass clarinet, and bassoon. Jeff Gauthier is the violinist. Charles Moore plays trumpet; and G. E. Stinson can be heard on acoustic, slide, and electric guitars. Rudolph, himself, plays on hand drums, percussion, bamboo flutes, samplers, and synthesizers. The Dreamer is comprised of one compact disc (total time 56:31) and a beautiful 32 page full-color booklet with twelve paintings by Nancy Jackson.. |
