New Love
Brahms’s Liebeslieder Walzer — the most beloved songs for vocal quartet, and part of one of Damask’s earliest concerts — alongside other love songs for vocal quartet and four-hand piano: Zachary Wadsworth’s Walzer einer neuen Liebe, built from material in Brahms’s Neue Liebeslieder with added texts on themes of same-sex love; Ned Rorem’s Four Madrigals, settings of fragments of Sappho; and Schumann’s Spanisches Liebeslieder.
