Dana Gioia and I have collaborated since 2004 and You Leave Me Bent is the first in what we hope will become a series of cabaret songs. I found the setting of these lyrics to be quite challenging. As a result, the song emerged slowly, as I worked and reworked the setting over a period of 2 years. The contrasting moods of the poem are tracked by corresponding changes in the music. I remain quite delighted with the insertion of the Jewish phrase “oy-yoy-yoy” into the word “annoying” and the musical motifs of the start return to close the song.
You can hear the excellent recording with Margaret Gawrysiak and Andrew Rosenblum on Spotify on the Naxos release "Living in the Body".
