Fenton Songs are settings of four poems from James Fenton’s collection Out of Danger. Wuorinen undertook these in 1997 as a preparation for setting Fenton’s libretto based on Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories. The first performances took place in New York at the Guggenheim Museum on May 17 and 18, 1998.


Wuorinen writes I see the sequence of poems as proceeding from public to private, from agitation to repose, with local ups and downs along the way.
