This article presents a conversation that took place on 8 May 2017 in Somerville, MA, between two singers who have performed Babbitt's composition Philomel (1964) for soprano and electronic tape. In addition to her recordings of Babbitt's Quatrains (1993) and performances of Phonemena (1969), Arnold's 2010 performance of Philomel at the Monadnock Music Festival has had nearly 40,000 hits on Youtube. Pearse's first experience with Babbitt was A Waltzer in the House (2003). She has since performed Philomel in New York, Wisconsin, Missouri, Colorado, and Nebraska. Her future plans include a performance of the complete works of Babbitt for treble voice and piano with pianist Augustus Arnone
