An American Soldier's Tale: Histoire du Soldat American Chamber Winds David Waybright, conductor Kurt Vonnegut, libretto 532 $16.99 includes FREE domestic shipping. Priority and Foreign have extra shipping fees.

The first recording of Kurt Vonnegut’s libretto! Vonnegut’s libretto is loosely based on The Execution of Private Slovik, a nonfiction book by William Bradford Huie published in 1954. The resulting version is a highly controversial yet entertaining fusion of Stravinsky’s music and the edgy, abrupt Vonnegut text. This is an American soldier’s tale that doesn’t have a happy ending. In the Vonnegut libretto there are four spoken roles, that of the General (narrator), Private Slovik, a Red Cross Nurse, and a Military Policemen.
