Nancy Harrow has been on the jazz scene for more than 40 years as a vocalist earning the devotion of a dedicated following of fans and enormous respect among musicians. But she is also a talented composer and librettist having created song cycles from such classics as Willa Cather’s Lost Lady and Waldemar Bronsels’s The Adventures of Maya the Bee. Here she wields her magic pen to create a musical passion play from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun. Hawthorne’s tale is one of murder and its effect on three major characters. This is a Greek tragedy set to music.
