This self-explanatory short quartet for women's voices began as a study for the textbook VOCAL MUSICIANSHIP. I got the idea for it during a Girls Chorus retreat during which we faculty were forced to listen to high-falooting schemes to raise money for the chorus. In the back of the room, I was busily, naughtily writing the musicianship study that became this piece once I found the Auden poem that suited it.

AT THE PARTY is dedicated to Isabella Zagare. The text is used by permission of the publisher.
