Looking for a humorous piece to fit into a baroque program?  Cappuccino Concertino is a newly composed work in neo-baroque style. The libretto of Cappuccino Concertino is essentially the same as the one used by J.S. Bach in his caffeinated  "Coffee Cantata" of 1732, except that instead of the father pleading with his daughter to stop drinking coffee, it is now the daughter who pleads with her father to quit drinking cappuccino. It is in English. It was premiered in October 2001 at the Church of the Lighted Window, La Canada, California, and featured Renée Sousa, soprano, and the late René Aravena, baritone.

Cappuccino Concertino also comes in a version for vocal trio plus piano or harpsichord, available in a piano/vocal score.
