Moby Dick (cantata)
''Moby Dick'' is a dramatic cantata for two tenors, two basses, male chorus, and orchestra by the American composer Bernard Herrmann with a libretto by Clark Harrington based on Herman Melville's eponymous novel.〔Smith, p. 53-56.〕 The work was composed between February 1937 and August 1938 while Herrmann was music director at CBS and premiered 1940 at Carnegie Hall in New York City by the New York Philharmonic under conductor John Barbirolli.〔Leonard, p. 601.〕 The piece is dedicated to Herrmann's friend and fellow composer Charles Ives.〔
==Composition==
Hermann originally conceived ''Moby Dick'' as an opera, but found the novel too vast in scope and instead asked librettist Clark Harrington to help him adapt the work into a cantata. While composing the work, Herrmann and Harrington took trips to Massachusetts in the summers of 1937 and 1938 to research the novel.〔 Herrmann later revised the work in 1973, having previously recorded it with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1967. The completed work lasts approximately 45 minutes in performance and is composed primarily in tonal Romanticism.〔〔 James Leonard of the AllMusic Guide has compared the work to that of Herrmann's 20th-century contemporaries Arnold Bax, Frederick Delius, and Ralph Vaughan Williams.〔
