(Subtitle:  'How many tenors does it take to change a light bulb?') 
 
Fun soprano showstopper: a string of light bulb jokes, packed with musical quotations from Tosca, Pagliacci, Carmen, Dido & Aeneas, Die Zauberflöte, and Tristan & Isolde - a perfect recital-ender or encore!  Light bulb prop optional but recommended.  Commissioned and premiered by Laura Strickling for Songfest 2023.
 
Linked performance:  Shelby VanNordstrand, soprano, with the composer at the piano. Iowa State University Spring 2024.
