Scott Gendel: At Last.The scourge of AIDS may not garner the headlines that it once did, especially in America, but this merciless killer is still inflicting widespread suffering and fear. Ironically, it also continues to inspire an impressive outpouring of artistic expression that gives voice to the experience of its victims and to the tenacity of those who are battling it. No other epidemics, including those more massive in scale, have garnered such a treasure trove of new musical and theatrical works. Then again, one of the hallmarks of the initial AIDS crisis in this country was the way in which it seemed to take aim at America's musical and artistic community like no other epidemic ever had. It is little wonder that composers, poets, playwrights, artists, and performers responded with the most significant tools and resources at their disposal-their own creative gifts-to draw the wider world's attention to this new killer in their midst and to the acute suffering of its many victims.Among the first concerted efforts to gather composers, lyricists, and singers together for the cause of AIDS Awareness was the AIDS Quilt Songbook organized by the late baritone William Parker in 1991. That project was conceived not so much as a definitive and finished work in its own right, but rather as a catalyst for other works to follow it and be aligned with it. A number of similar projects have sprung up in its wake, with An AIDS Quilt Songbook: Sing for Hope being the most recent and one of the most artistically impressive. Its initial inspiration came from the death of a promising 25 year old tenor named Frank Logan in 1995. A number of his friends and colleagues came together to give voice to their grief and to their grim determination for an AIDS cure to be found. What ultimately sprang from that earnest first effort was an organization called Sing For Hope, anchored by a number of Juilliard students and alumni, in cooperation with agencies and organizations such as Houston's Omega House where Logan had received hospice care. In seven short years, Sing For Hope has grown into a consortium of more than 1,500 artists who volunteer their services for performances in all kinds of different places where a word of hope is so desperately needed. Their central credo eloquently states, We believe in the power of art to heal, teach, and bring joy to those who need it most.It is under this group's auspices that An Aids Quilt Songbook: Sing for Hope was conceived and created with the utmost care and sensitivity. The 23 songs collected here reflect all kinds of different facets of what might be called the Aids Experience. Many are poignant expressions of loss or fear or anger in the face of this relentless disease. Others give voice to hopes and dreams of a better day, or summon us to action in a musical call to arms. …
