Synopsis

“These days, composers realize the importance of the text, and with greater pressure to deliver a masterpiece every time, it had better be solid both musically and textually. Harvey Hess in one of that breed who crafts words for a particular musician.
The Hawai’i-based composer Jerre Tanner is emerging as a major force in music, and his operatic texts have been the result of collaboration with his dear friend Harvey Hess.”

– Conversation Piece: Librettist Harvey Hess, the Opera Journal, June 1994, by Bruce Duffie [freelance music journalist, Public Radio host WNIB Classical 97, Chicago, Illinois and WNUR-FM Evanston-Chicago]
