Genre: | Simchas Torah Oratorio | |||||
| Parts: | Male | - | Female | - | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A very modern-sounding oratorio which was performed as part of the Simchas Torah service at Temple Israel, New York City. Friedman's composition, which was performed by a 10-piece orchestra and sung by the choirs of the congregation, is a blend of several musical styles sung in both English and Hebrew. It is a happy piece, combining elements of jazz, rock, classical, sacred and folk music, using Hebrew words in a distinctively contemporary setting. It is a bright, lively and quite imaginative score that manages to be exciting and interesting, and really quite reverent in its own way. | |||||

Notes: | music and lyrics by Cole Porter; book by Stevie Holland and Gary William Friedman | |||||
Synopsis: | With music and lyrics by Cole Porter and book by Stevie Holland and Gary William Friedman, Love, Linda stars Stevie Holland as Linda Porter, the Southern beauty who married the legendary songwriter Cole Porter at the dawn of the roaring twenties. Although Cole Porter was gay, their companionship and love lasted through 35 years of marriage and together they lived a spectacular, glamour-filled life. The score for Love, Linda includes such beloved Porter songs as "So in Love," "In the Still of the Night," "Love for Sale," and "Night and Day." Woven through the compelling narrative of Love, Linda, these songs, and lesser-known Porter gems, unite to tell the story of Linda and Cole's unconventional relationship and great love for each other. | |||||
