Audio CD and cassette, LaLa Music, 1991, co-written and composed with Harvey Goldman.

This full-length audio CD is a musical setting of attitudes and longings for voices and instruments. Nine pieces explore the search for the big ITs — power (Tag Yer IT), search for an AIDS cure (It Just Might Work), love (Hymn for Her), victory (I for an I), god (You and Me), material wealth (You Got Nothin), the ineffable (Something or Other); and other pronouns — (They, He is a She Dog). An outgrowth of my performance collaborations with Harvey Goldman, this post-minimalist opera, has received some good airplay on new music radio programs throughout the country. Composed with the aid of midi-synthesis, the recording features Harvey and I on digital and acoustic instruments and voice, as well as baritone Alan Seale, sopranos Patricia Ruiz, Nina Heller and Angela DeCicco, extended vocals by Stacy Schuman, and special spoken word appearances by Judith Sloan and Brother. Includes 12 page booklet with complete lyrics.

The Search For IT and Other Pronouns is an aesthetic colossus, straddling theater, music, social satire and design... a carefully constructed study in counterpoint, filled with lots of surprises... The CD booklet is a work of art...”
