About "A Pittsburgh Wassail"
The
title track developed from an inside joke which had circulated in the Camerata
for some years before my arrival as Artistic Director. Jim Heinrich, tenor and
writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, had reworked the chorus text of the
traditional Wassail song to poke some gentle fun at Pittsburgh traditions and
pronunciations. When I heard the "Pittsburgh Wassail" chorus, I
thought it was delightful and was inspired to write several verses focusing on
prominent Pittsburgh personalities (yes, the Parkway does have its own
personality...). I hope you enjoy this affectionate tribute to a great
city. More
