Based on the popular 1934 novella Goodbye, Mr. Chips and other stories by James Hilton, Goodbye, Mr. Chips tells the heart-warming story of a teacher at Brookfield, an all-boys English boarding school to which \"Chips\" dedicates most of his adult life. The opera chronicles Chips' story of love, loss and learning over his decades-long tenure at Brookfield. Along the way, we're reminded of the difference one good teacher can make as we watch Chips and his children, \"thousands of them, and all boys,\" enrich each other's lives.Writing both the music and libretto of his opera, Getty has shaped Hilton's cherished story into a memory play, in which the protagonist looks back on important episodes of his life. The score encapsulates the intimacy of the plot and the nuances of it's characters. Just like Chips, Getty treats each personality with a profound understanding of-and love for-the human spirit, with all it's strengths and flaws. After decades of fascination with the character and story of Mr. Chips, the completion of this opera is the realization of a long-held dream.  Gordon Getty is a PENTATONE artist with a vast discography. Goodbye, Mr. Chips is his fourth opera recording on the label, after Plump Jack (2012), Usher House (2013) and The Canterville Ghost (2015). Melody Moore, Nathan Granner, Lester Lynch and Kevin Short have featured on many PENTATONE recordings. Conductor Dennis Doubin and the San Francisco Boys Chorus make their label debut.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlma Mater, amnis pratum...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChips was the soul of Brookfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChips, my good fellow...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e...there was Kathie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKathie, Kathie...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChips, darling, it's started.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomehow I walked the three miles back to campus...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI suppose I was the first...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall-over: Wayne, Weaver, Webb...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes the mood was somber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere had been talk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Ralston!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKathie, you won't remember...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermezzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRalston soon went on to better things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye, Mr. Chips~Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSir, my father was.
