Thomas Oboe Lee Premiered “Mayonnaise Dressing No. 1″ at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.
Singer Jean Danton and pianist Thomas Stumpf recently presented “An Artful Collaboration: Music and Poetry” at the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. The concert featured 19th century parlor songs written by Boston composers who are buried at the cemetery, such as Arthur Foote and George Chadwick. This year’s concert featured a premiere by Boston composer Thomas Oboe Lee, who set cookbook author Fannie Farmer’s “Mayonnaise Dressing No. 1″ to music. An excerpt from the concert and a discussion with Tom Lee and Jean Danton was featured on WBUR. Oboe Lee said he came across the idea to put mayonnaise to music by looking through a collector’s edition of Farmer’s 1896 cookbook. “The list was great,” he said. “Eggs, olive oil, vinegar.” Not to mention, lemon juice, cayenne, mustard and even powdered sugar. “Nobody uses powdered sugar these days,” Oboe Lee said.
