LAIR: fantasia for orchestra is a tribute to divas and divos. Fleeting quotations associated with four different operatic characters (Siegfried’s Fafner, Tosca’s Scarpia, Otello’s Iago, and Die Zauberflöte’s Königin der Nacht) are woven into my own musical fabric. Also embedded is a reference to a more contemporary (and non-operatic) diva. The title refers to the campus bar at UC Berkeley, “The Bear’s Lair,” although it is more appropriately thought of as the imaginary hideout where fiction and reality, past and present, can coexist. LAIR was developed through the 2012-13 Under Construction composers program of the Berkeley Symphony and it was revised for the 2015 Ink Still Wet composers workshop of the Grafenegg Music Festival.
