G. Schirmer and Hal Leonard have been good enough to make available in piano reduction the entire vocal score of Little Women, as well as many of the arias from both operas, both as separate sheets and in their American Aria Anthologies. Here you'll also find Little Women on compact disk: the first recording of No. 10, Supreme Virtue: and piano-vocal sheets of the first two of the cabaret songs John Corigliano and I wrote together. (Third in the works: have patience, L.D.!)
