This recorded version has been a long, long time coming. I've always longed to expand the original instrumentation; MainStage synth bank to the rescue. Then the AI voices and ElevenLabs narration bits. Scored in 1999, this work has gone on to be performed around the world. Armistead Maupin's text hits just as powerfully today as it ever has, and likely ever will. Of all the stuff I've created, I think I'm proudest of this piece.
