From Alceste (1767)

Labels

Ed Lein: Early on, Florida native Edward Lein (b. 1955 in Fort Pierce) was a tenor soloist throughout his home state, and his early works reflect his experience as a vocalist. In 2006, Ed was a finalist in the Jacksonville Symphony's Fresh Ink composition contest, and his instrumental catalog has since grown largely due to requests from Symphony players. Now retired, Ed was Music Librarian for the City of Jacksonville, and he produced the popular Music @ Main concerts (2006-2016), also writing the program notes. Ed was a regular contributor to the Jacksonville Symphony's ENCORE magazine from 2014-16, and gets frequent requests for his translations of French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian song texts from singers and orchestras throughout North America and Great Britain, including from such prestigious organizations as Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, and Carnegie Hall's The Song Continues.
