We've got swag!
From the outset, we've always planned to have a visual-art component to the Weill Project. We are proud to be able now to offer four T-shirts with some
of our graphics, all available in sizes ranging from SMALL to 3XL. Each shirt is $30 + tax and shipping.

Weill Project logo on red T-shirt. Art by Juliana Brandon: an image of Kurt Weill so focused on composing in his imagination that the tune to "Mack the Knife"
comes out of his pipe, winding and spiraling in the air so that it eventually comes out backwards.

"Moritat" ("Mack the Knife") T-shirt. Art by visionary German artist Yvette Endrijautzki. A placard for
the opening number of the Brecht/Kurt Weill play Threepenny Opera (1928). A "Moritat" is a murder ballad,
typically sung by a street singer; this ballad tells the story of the pimp, thief, and murderer Macheath, central character of Threepenny Opera.

"Speak Low" sparkly T-shirt. Art by Juliana Brandon. "Speak Low" (lyrics by Ogden Nash, music by Kurt Weill)
is from the 1943 Broadway musical One Touch of Venus. Although not particularly intended to be a hit, its lyrics about
the brevity of love in the face of time struck a chord in the as so many young American men left to fight in World War II.
The piece depicts two lovers caught in the rays of the dying sun. The original is made of black paper cut in one piece and
pasted over a watercolor background.
Although the picture here on the web can't capture it, the image on the T-shirt is really sparkly.
