The Disappointment: or, The Force of Credulity

For Voices and Piano (orchestral reduction). The history of this piece is complicated. "Andrew Barton" is felt to be a pseudonym but no one is certain who it actually was. The work is considered to be the first American (Ballad) opera; its premier in 1762 Philadelphia was canceled at the last minute. Adler reconstructed the score in 1976 as part of the Bicentennial celebrations. A review of the performance was lukewarm. There is also a quirky movie of the same name from 2007, whose relationship to the source material is unclear.
