Having spent a lot time during The Quarantine listening to pianist Simone Dinnerstein play Bach, composer Richard Danielpour decided to write a long-form solo piece for her, using Bachian and non-Bachian devices to commemorate people affected by The Pandemic. Dinnerstein played it last month at various locations inside Green-Wood Cemetery; tonight she plays it in a reading room in Butler Library.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Lion's Tale: pour 2 oz. Bourbon, 1/2 oz. each of Allspice/Pimento Dram and lime juice, and 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup, with 1 dash of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Express an orange peel into the drink and discard the rind.
