Today's Morning Edition music is from the Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus, with a song from their new choral opera "Two Boys Kissing" which premieres tonight at the Ted Mann Concert Hall in Minneapolis.
Composer Joshua Shank created the music based on the 2013 best-selling novel by David Levithan, which was inspired by the true story of two teenage boys who respond to a hate crime by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest kiss. The action is narrated by a Greek chorus of gay men who lost their lives during the AIDS crisis.
