About
Carla Kihlstedt’s 26 Little Deaths is a 60-minute set of 26 miniatures for singing violinist and chamber orchestra, inspired by Edward Gorey’s macabre abecedary, The Gashlycrumb Tinies – an illustrated children’s book in which, on every page, a child meets an untimely demise. Following in the footsteps of Hanns Eilser and Kurt Weill who moved seamlessly between art song, pop song and cabaret, Kihlstedt has created a song cycle for the extraordinary players of Present Music that captures the pathos, humor and wit of Gorey’s iconic images.
