Don't Quit Your Day Job

This composer's output is small, but it appears incredible when one considers that music was not his primary profession. For this reason, the work we're hearing-his only opera, took nearly twenty years to write, and was never fully finished! After the composer's death, several of his friends completed the opera for him. Famous for its exotic dances, the opera dramatizes a medieval conflict between a growing empire and a nomadic tribe.
