BABE: ELABORATIO | A Tribute to My Mother (Preorder)

Harry Connick Jr. pays a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Anita-Francis Livingston Connick, affectionately known as “Babe,” whom he lost when he was only 13 years old. Babe’s story unfolds as a magnificent symphony, rich with emotion and layered with history. From her early childhood in New York to the serendipitous meeting with her husband in Morocco to the impressive career as one of the first female judges in New Orleans, Babe’s life was a testament of love, determination, and wisdom. Written to accompany his Carnegie Hall debut, Babe: Elaboratio, A Tribute to My Mother offers an intimate look into the emotional and creative journey behind Connick’s orchestral composition of the same name. Featuring personal photography and measures from the score, he reveals the memories and musical significance hidden in his orchestration. Preorder now, available beginning September 29.
