As an innovator in music composition, choreography, theater, and filmmaking, Meredith Monk has an extensive oeuvre of interdisciplinary works from her start in the 1960s. After a trip through England and France in 1972, Meredith Monk began working on her WWII opera Quarry, an opera in 3 movements. An integral ‘character’ in the piece was a 1940s radio playing prerecorded compositions by Monk. Initially this included “Quarry Waltz” and “Quarry Radio”. “Gotham Lullaby” was later integrated into the opera. This along with “Gotham Blues”, a piece written for Quarry but not used, were commissioned by director Ping Chong for his performance piece Fear and Loathing in Gotham.
