Was für ein Fest für Brecht-Nerds und Film-Nerds gleichermaßen. Die „Dreigroschenoper“ in der Version von Joachim A. Lang ist ein Film, den Sie gesehen haben müssen. Selbst wenn er über meinen Horizont beizeiten hinausging, konnte ich was lernen und wurde göttlich unterhalten. (ARD, Wh.)

I am a published fiction writer and poet and a lyricist who has written a 28-page libretto, adapted from my own 10-poem cycle.

I am seeking a composer who writes or at least is influenced by pop, jazz, classical and cabaret styles.

The libretto tells a simple love story with a gender-bending twist and the atmosphere of a waking dream. The language is heightened and poetic. There are simple stage directions that hint at the possibilities of staging.

To get a better idea of my writing accomplishments and interests, I would encourage you to go to my web site www.stevenmayoff.ca and have a look around before reaching out to me. You can email me via the contact page or directly at [email protected]

Somehow or another, I am the first one to share this piece with the wider internet: Kurt Weill's Intermezzo (1917) … his only work for solo piano

Ick sitze da un' esse Klops
uff eemal klopp’s
Ick kieke, staune, wundre mir,
uff eemal jeht se uff die Tür.
Nanu, denk ick, ick denk nanu
jetz isse uff, erst war se zu!
Ick jehe raus und kieke
und wer steht draußen? Icke! Icke! Icke!!

Musical Interlude: I love this old Kurt Weill tune, no matter how odd the arrangement. Lotte Lenya's Latin-tinged version is lovely, and this modernist arrangement is also quite nice.

"Speak Low," performed by Ute Lemper.
