Original

De Profundis. 2010. for baritone and piano composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. For Piano, Voice. Broadway, Opera, Romantic Period, 20th Century, 21st Century. Advanced Intermediate. Score. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee. S0.9520. Program note. In 2005, Paul Hodes and I embarked on an opera project on the life of Oscar Wilde. Paul wrote the libretto using mostly words penned by Mr. Wilde himself. Granite State Opera, under the direction of Phil Lauriat, produced a workshop performance of Act One in January 2006 at the Concord Community Music School in Concord, New Hampshire. I was quite pleased with the outcome, but GSO decided not to produce the work. And therefore Act Two never saw the light of day â âœDe Profundis,â Oscar Wildeâs book-length letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, aka Bosie, had to wait for another day. In the meanwhile, I met John Whittlesey, artistic director of Intermezzo, in 2006 and we agreed to do a chamber opera on the life of Arthur Crew Inman, a Boston diarist and recluse who lived in the Back Bay area of Boston from 1919 to 1963. The two-act opera was produced by Intermezzo in the fall of 2007. Both John and I were quite pleased with the outcome. This year John has decided to present a vocal recital with Intermezzo for the coming season 2010-11 entitled âœBoys Night Out.â The main feature of the evening is a Dominick Argento work, âœThe AndrÃe Expeditionâ for baritone and piano. I suggested to John that I should write a new work for him for this occasion. He asked what text I had in mind. I suggested âœDe Profundisâ by Oscar Wilde. John said yes. The huge task of winnowing the text. often indulgently verbose and over-the-top, which is to be expected from someone as flamboyant and so-full-of-himself as Mr. Wilde. from 118 pages to something that would be suitable for a recital was enormous. John had set a time limit of 15 minutes. So, between Jesse Martin. the librettist for the Inman opera. and I, we managed to reduce the original text to about a page and a half. The song cycle is in three parts, and every single word is Oscar Wildeâs. Digital Print is printable sheet music available anytime, anywhere. Just purchase, print and play.
