Carlisle Floyd, Dean Of American Opera Composers, Dead At 95

“Floyd’s operas, more than a dozen, were steeped in southern culture, examining the post-Civil War South, the Great Depression and small-town life. Works such as Susannah, Of Mice and Men and Cold Sassy Tree opened opera houses to a distinctly American repertoire. He also wrote his own librettos.” – NPR
