about

Because the last section of the six-part "Church" is silent, only five of the characters are heard on the recorded version. One by one, often accompanied by unseen friends, the five characters file through a beautiful art-filled church in Italy. The first is a British painter with a friend, who exits as an Italian crone comes begging for alms. A group of German tourists are next, then a young Italian girl with her lover. Finally, in the lengthiest and funniest of the sections, a group of American tourists absorb the art while discussing other attractions, including an American beauty parlor with all the comforts of home. Composed in 1925.
