Score and parts available from Edition Peters.
The Jester, the Artist, and the Little Lion…is one of Howard Frazin’s best works. Elegant and attractive, it inhabits a slightly clouded tonal world that ably weds aspects of Leonard Bernstein and Olivier Messiaen. There’s plenty of intricate textural detail that pleases, too—it’s charming without being lightweight.
