Foster Sung by Thomas Hampson CD American Dreamer EMI C 754621.2 The title of my ballet — YONDERING — refers to an early American expression for the act of crossing the frontier and wandering — “out yonder” — into unknown adventure. The ballet YONDERING was inspired by the wonderful songs of the 19th century American composer Stephen Foster, recorded in a new interpretation by the baritone Thomas Hampson. The success of this ballet depends on its performance by young, enthusiastic, energetic and idealistic students. The ballet must in fact only be performed by students of the very best schools. The National Ballet school of Canada, the Ecole de Danse de l’Opéra National de Paris, the San Francisco Ballet School and the Royal Ballet School in London have so far also given their particular quality to this ballet.
