Description

Composer: Stacy Garrop
Format: Sheet Music
Voicing: Baritone and Piano
Powerfully poignant and equally tender, My Dearest Ruth is Garrop’s musical setting of the final love letter from Martin Ginsburg to his wife, the opera-loving Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, only days before Martin’s passing. Commissioned by the family to celebrate Justice Ginsburg’s 80th birthday, the work later became a highlight of the Cedille Records CD « Notorious RBG in Song ». My Dearest Ruth is a touching 6 1/2-minute scene, touching in sound, deeply dramatic in meaning. Also available for High Voice and Piano, Mezzo-soprano and Piano, and for each voicing with Bb Clarinet, Violin, Violoncello, and Piano.
