Wheeler, S.: The Construction of Boston

Overture

Prologue: I am the Opera, here to explain myself (Opera)

Hello, Sam (Henry, Sam)

You speak of one men are not fit to know (The Spirit of Boston)

Sea Interlude I

Primeval Pastoral - How strange! What freshness steals across my brow (Chorus)

Song: How happy I am now, fat as a cow (Beacon Hill) - The light summer day (Chorus)

Hail Populator (Chorus, Rauchenberg)

Dark afternoons in Autumn (Chorus)

I'd almost swear that I can hear the weather (Narrator, Storm, Noon, Dawn, Rauschenberg, Chorus, Moonlight)

And now I have to stock the city up with people (Rauschenberg, Chorus)

Veni Tinguely Spiritus: Tinguely, Spirit of the Air (Chorus) - I am arrived! (Tinguely)

Ah, what a lovely layout you have here! (Tinguely, Chorus)

But now we need more space! (Tinguely)

Boston, all that I can say is, it's grand to be a bay! (Back Bay) - Now you're the town (Chorus)

Bay Bay, you're lucky (Tinguely) - Oh hear, how that noise (Chorus)

Sea Interlude II

Fairest Tinguely, we the Wharfs (Wharf Chorus, Tinguely, Water Chorus)

See how the smiling city take its shape (Chorus, Rauschenberg, Niki)

What this town needs is beauty (Niki, Tinguely)

Men say she has a magic pistol (Chorus, Niki)

I bring beauty and detail (Niki)

She'll shoot up the city (Chorus)

And now, at last, my time is past (Niki)

We who feel our new creation (Chorus, Niki)

Niki, all this city's Buildings (Tinguely, Rauschenberg, Niki)

Now, citizens, sunset cover you (Niki, Tinguely, Rauschenberg)
