Search - composer/ conductor Grant Cooper, baritone Steven Stull, narrator Liane Hansen :: Boyz in the Wood and other fables

Step aside Prokofiev, there?s a new wolf in town! The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra presents its premiere recording, "Boyz in the Wood and other Fables" aimed at audiences of all ages. Composer Grant Cooper leads the thirty one piece orchestra through these spirited new versions of classic children?s stories. The title selection, "Boyz in the Wood", casts Little Red Riding Hood as a coloratura soprano, sung by Deborah Montgomery. The Wolf, performed by baritone Steven Stull, is a master of many styles, from his opening ?Wolf?s Rap,? through a snappy dixieland ?Step Right Up,? to his convincing impersonation of Grandma. National Public Radio?s host of Weekend Edition Sunday, Liane Hansen, narrates a charming "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". Commissioned by the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, "Rumpelstiltzkin", is narrated by Cooper with Beauty and the Beast Storytellers, Martha Hamilton as the Miller?s Daughter and Mitch Weiss as Rumpelstiltzkin and the King. Members of the Ithaca Children?s Choir add their voices to the mix. 74 minutes of fun for the whole family!
