"Tille Stern" jazz composition for Jenny's mother

Tillie Stern was Jenny's mother, my fathers grandmother, my great grandmother.

She married Moses Dublon, who was a salesman who rode the 'City of New Orleans'

from Chicago to New Orleans, carrying thread samples by foot to back road general

stores all over the south along the way, before there were roads to carry wagons. And then later built a shop in Chicago.

a video with a jazz tune to match the spirit of a poetry press of American modernist poets

in the 1930's. One of my many connections to American modernist poetry.

auspician remix

This is the same composition, remixed with an acoustic guitar sound. The opera includes

arias and harmonic choruses with lyrics in Swedish and German and other languages from

which I am descended. I am in the process of transforming the "page poem" which is written

into the videos of "Auspician", of transforming them into singable dramatic lyrics, sometimes

in both English and one of the other languages from my background. (I am working on this one with a Swedish translation)

The second musical version of "Auspician". Auspician remix. (The one preceding this one was with a rock electric guitar sound.)
