Stitt's My Lifelong Love is a collection of songs about love in its many incarnations: first love, lost love,
love of music, love of children, and ultimately, love of self. Deeply personal and written from a distinctly
female point of view, Stitt's music draws from classical, pop, gospel and musical theater
influences. With lush orchestrations by Don Sebesky, Jason Robert Brown, Sam Davis and Stitt
herself, each of these songs illuminates an emotional truth with thrilling and sensitive musical
storytelling. In addition to the lyrics by traditional musical theater writers like Marcy Heisler and Bil
Wright, My Lifelong Love also features Stitt's settings of poetry by Dorothy Parker, Derek Walcott,
Alicia Partnoy and the Bard himself, William Shakespeare. Music by Sam Davis and David Kirshenbaum is also showcased, with lyrics by Stitt. |
