Music:
The following works, I believe, have a political or social context relevant
to the issues of my book; most of them are mentioned in the text.
Anthony, Kris. Requiem: When We No Longer Touch. Dallas
Turtle Creek Chorale and Symphony Orchestra, 1993. AmFar (privately distributed in
stores such as Lambda Rising and CrossRoad's Market).
Bach, J.S. Magnificat, BWV 243. Polygram DG 419466.
Beethoven, L.V. Concerto #5 in E-flat for Piano and Orchestra,
"Emperor," Op. 73. Many recordings.
Beethoven, L.V. Symphony #9 in D-minor, "Choral," Op. 125. I recommend Bernstein's recording, titled "Ode to
Freedom," recorded live in Berlin,
Dec. 25, 1989,
shortly after the Berlin Wall fell. Polygram DG
429861
Boito, Arrigo. Mefistofele.
CBS-Sony 44983.
Britten, Benjamin. Peter Grimes. I recommend Britten's own recording, containing (in program notes)
Philip Brett's essay "The More Vicious the Society, the More Vicious the
Individual: Peter Grimes and its Message." Britten
may have understood the gay identity intellectually better than any other
composer. Polygram/London 414577. Three compact disks.
Britten, Benjamin. Billy Budd. This opera does
dramatize the "unit cohesion" problem, in the 18th Century British
Navy. Trouble is, it seems to ratify the Nunn-Moskos point of view. Get Britten's
own recording, Polygram/London 417428.
Charpentier, Marc. David and
Jonathan. Corboz: Lyon.
BMG/Erato
2292-45162.
Corigliano, John. Symphony #1.
Barenboim: Chicago
Symphony. BMG/Erato
2292-45601.
Dvorak, Antonin. A Hero's Song, Op. 111. Chandos 8798.
Elgar, Edward. Enigma
Variations. Many recordings.
Liszt, Franz. A Faust Symphony. Solti, Chicago Symphony
and Male Chorus. Polygram/London 417399.
Mahler, Gustav. Symphony #2 in C-minor,
"Resurrection." Many recordings.
Mahler, Gustav. Symphony #8 in E-flat, "Symphony of a
Thousand." Part II is a setting of Goethe's Faust. Many recordings.
Mozart, W.A. Concerto #25 for Piano and Orchestra in D Major,
"Coronation," K. 537.
Nielsen, Carl. Saul and David. Chandos 8911/12.
Shostakovich, D. Symphony #13 in B-flat Minor, Op. 113,
"Babi Jar." Set to poetry by Yevtushenko (1967). The last poem, "A Career,"
commends Galileo for looking for scientific truth, and compares him to a
contemporary scientist who gave in to religious orthodoxy because he had a
family to support.
Webber, Andrew Lloyd with Tim Rice (lyrics). Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Raincoat (1967). MCA 399. Read all the lyrics; much of it deals with Joseph's
feeling of being born to a "better life" with higher position than
his more fungible brothers.
Films: (recent)
A Few Good Men (1992). Presents a
view of the Marine Corps "hazing" (Code Red) controversy.
Coming Out Under Fire (1994), based on Allan Berube's book.
Serving in Silence: The Margarethe
Cammermeyer Story (TV-NBC, 1995).
