| Summary |
"The Lost Child" is a reflective, elegiac concert aria that connects four important figures from three quite separate disciplines--the Swiss-American "natural scientist" Louis Agassiz (1807-73), the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-82), the German-American composer Otto Dresel (1826-90), and the English diva and composer Clara Kathleen Rogers (1844-1931). Its collaborative creation was initiated by Longfellow, who wrote the poem as a birthday tribute to his friend Agassiz. He recruited Dresel, then regarded as Boston's leading composer and pianist, to set the poem to music, perhaps because Dresel was himself a close friend of Agassiz. Rogers later performed The Lost Child at its premiere-a memorial concert for Agassiz arranged by the Harvard Musical Association-in 1874. Dresel originally set the work for piano and voice, but he later revised it for voice and orchestra. The piano-vocal setting is available in Dresel's Collected Vocal Music (Recent Researches in American Music, vol. 45); this supplement presents the orchestral version for the first time in a modern edition. -- Provided by publisher. |
