With a nomination in this year's Grammy Awards for the category Best Contemporary Classical Composition (for his song cycle "Evidence of Things Not Seen"), Ned Rorem seems finally to be gaining more widespread recognition as one of our leading composers. He's also long since earned his reputation as part of an even smaller elite, the happy few who are equally at home writing music and words. As a belletrist, Rorem has focused his gift on a lifelong series of diaries, regularly published through the years. The latest installment, "Lies," covers the period 1986-1999, with Rorem confronting the mortality of loved ones and musing on his own aging. "The Later Diaries 1961-1972" Ned Rorem ...order this book here. And for those who succumb to the strangely hypnotic--not to say voyeuristic--enchantment of reading a well-written diary, Rorem's "Later Diaries: 1961-1972" makes a fascinating read. Along with the personal journey, narrated via Rorem's signature elegance, wit, and occasionally wicked style, we also get a chronicle of turbulent times, all the more valuable as filtered through a consciousness so sensitive and intelligent.
