David Del Tredici can't find anyone to perform penis poems
The composer David Del Tredici has gained notoriety and even faced censorship for the unabashedly gay content of the texts in several of his recent vocal works, which says much about the silly timidity of the concert music scene these days. At a time when sexually explicit dramas on HBO could not be more popular and the Fab Five from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" have become cultural heroes, Del Tredici, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, has yet to find presenters willing to perform a recent work he calls "My Favorite Penis Poems."
