A famous boast by prolific composer Rossini is realized, with a musical list of laundry. Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. Secular, Genre-Benders. Choral Score. Duration 4 minutes. Published by Seafarer Press (SF.SEA-022-08).Text by: Giaocchino Rossini / Elizabeth Alexander.
The inspiration for this lighthearted romp is a boast made by prolific composer Giaocchino Rossini: "Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music." Alexander tips her hat to Rossini with an over-the-top laundry list, some "hold onto your hat" modulations, a few sly barbershop voicings, and a classic "Rossini crescendo"!
Commissioned by Orange County Women's Chorus / Eliza Rubenstein (Irvine, CA)
