A microcosmic masterpiece in its own right and defined by the composer as an encore piece, Bitten at the Opera is all that and more. Carter Pann may leave us guessing about some of the references in his music and title - yet we do feel the bite, the melodramatic thrill, the references to Carmen, and the drama of the great Italian tragic operas. Parody aside, Bitten at the Opera is a brilliant 4 1/2 minute showpiece full of lyricism and fire, ideal for punctuating a recital. For advanced performers.

The Pytheas Center for Contemporary Music notes: Talma was the first woman to receive two Guggenheims, the first woman elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters (1974), the first American woman to have a full-scale opera performed in Germany, the first American to teach at Fontainebleau, and the first woman to receive the Sibelius Medal for composition. This is only the highlights of a long life of composing. Talma spent a good amount of time at the MacDowell Colony, where she wrote many of her finest works, including the Violin Sonata. Having studied composition with Nadia Boulanger over 17 summers in her youth, Talma dedicated the Sonata to her former teacher and long-time friend on the occasion of Boulanger's 75th birthday. The single movement reflects Talma's style in 1962, with more than a passing nod to 12-tone construction. For advanced performers. Duration: 16'.
