Music, Thou Soul of Heaven
A Tribute to Daniel Pinkham
 
Steven Sven Olbash, baritone; Heather Heise, piano
 
Mélodies passagères by Samuel Barber; The Faucon (settings by Pinkham, George Walker and John Edmunds); Two by Marianne Moore by Virgil Thompson; Another Sleep by Ned Rorem; Three Latin Motets by Daniel Pinkham; Cantique by Nadia Boulanger; Psaumes by Arthur Honegger

Sven Olbash pays tribute to Daniel Pinkham by performing the late composer’s songs alongside those of his teachers and colleagues. Hailing from Pinkham’s native Lynn, Massachusetts, Olbash championed his works as both singer and organist before having the opportunity to study with the maestro at New England Conservatory. The program features the first known West Coast performance of Ned Rorem’s Another Sleep (original 1951 version).
