HaLeLEONAgeePREFACE Inthe opera Tue Great Garsey, five songs are sung in the course of small or large gatherings, either over the radio or live by a Band Vocalist. These songs, with lyrics by Murray Horwitz, bear a resemblance to popular songs from the 1920s, but also share musical elements with the score as a whole. A number of other songs appear in the opera as instrumentals only. After the completion of the opera, Murray Horwitz wrote lyrics for these as well, completing the present collection, which reorders and rearranges the songs, making them presentable separately or asa sequence. Jorn HaRBison THE GREAT GATSBY ‘Music and libretto by John Harbison after the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald with popular song lyrics by Murray Horwitz Commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the debut of James Levine “THE GREAT GATSBY” by F.
