TIFFANY'S SPELLBOOK
An incantation pulls music off the pages of this grimoire, turned song cycle. Tiffany’s Spellbook ushers its audience through a smorgasbord of everyday magicks, each one meant to solve a problem, large or small, of life in the 21st century.
Tiffany’s Spellbook is an ever-growing work. Because of the modular nature of the cycle’s movements, the performers can choose any number of “internal” spells, in any order, to program for any given performance of the work.
If you’re interested in commissioning a new spell to add to the grimoire for your performance of the Tiffany’s Spellbook, contact the composer here.
