I'm having a brain glitch: what do you call a classically trained "operatic" soprano whose career is more in concert work - oratorio, choral solos, art song / lieder, recitals, etc ?? I want to just say "concert soprano" but is that going to translate to the illiterate masses?

John Ashbery’s poem “Fear of Death” from Ned Rorem’s song cycle “The Nantucket Songs”.#Rorem #NedRorem #ArtSong #TheNantucketSongs #FearOfDeath #music #JohnAshbery

Ned Rorem died Friday morning at his Manhattan home. “Why do I write music? Because I want to hear it. It's simple as that.”
I learned of his passing when I noticed people sharing the video I made for @meganmariehart singing his art song "Fear of Death." What a strange, strange world we live in.

Just learned Ned Rorem died two days ago. He will always be remembered as one of America’s greatest art song composers.
