"Wondrous Sufferings" (1/7/2011) surpasses the boundaries of genres but has been classified as contemporary classical music and as performance art. In this, his second composition, Benjamin Buchanan uses English translations of text from Clara Schumann's (1819-1896) diary from 1854-1856 when Robert Schumann was in the mental asylum, Endenich, Benjamin Buchanan creates an incredibly powerful experience through this depiction of the pain that was felt by both Robert and Clara Schumann during his mental deterioration. Set for a female soprano and a male pianist, the singer plays the role of Clara and the pianist plays the role of Robert. The title, "Wondrous Sufferings," comes from a translation of something Robert Schumann scribbled in his
diary describing his auditory hallucinations.

Dedicated to his grandparents, Judge Lee Town Adams (1922-2010) and Muriel Kathryn Stang Adams (1914-2009), Buchanan writes "May those who hurt always have someone who loves them."

This recording is of a live, abbreviated, performance of the work on 2/9/2011 and features the lovely soprano and incredible actress Kirsten Johnson with the composer at the piano.

Score provided upon request.
