Honey and Rue is a song cycle composed by Oscar and Grammy award winner André Previn and premiered by Kathleen Battle, with words from poems by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison.[1] It is scored for a solo soprano and small orchestra and is influenced by the rhythms of jazz, blues and American spirituals.[2] The New York Times termed the composition "a model of understated luxury, rich and plastic without the need of ornament".[3]
