He was thirteen when she died of ovarian cancer. The three parts follow her through the places that shaped her life: New York, where she spent her childhood; Morocco, where she moved in her twenties and met the man she married; and New Orleans, where she raised her two children and became one of the city's first female judges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnick recorded the piece in Melbourne, at the Iwaki Auditorium, with more than seventy musicians drawn from Orchestra Victoria and the Harry Connick, Jr. Big Band, conducted by Jessica Gethin. The three movements run to roughly forty-eight minutes between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work was first performed on May 22 and 23, 2026, at Connick's Carnegie Hall debut, on what would have been his mother's hundredth birthday. He had declined the hall's main stage throughout his career and chose that occasion to take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album reached streaming and CD on September 25, 2026. This vinyl edition arrives on November 13 across two discs in a gatefold jacket, and adds a fourth part, About The Music, that the September digital release does not carry. Connick's companion book, Babe: Elaboratio A Tribute to My Mother, was published by Harper Celebrate on September 29 and sets personal photographs alongside measures from the score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I - New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II - Nouasseur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III - New Orleans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart IV - About The Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Harry Connick, Jr. titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/harry-connick-jr-when-my-heart-finds-christmas\"\u003eWhen My Heart Finds Christmas\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 881453593703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mindfish Music Llc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.13.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mindfish Music, LLC","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48249367920798,"sku":"EVP-57F0C154-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/3000x3000bb_9db15320-efe9-49a9-8466-44c4cadbc32e.jpg?v=1793884494","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/harry-connick-jr-babe-elaboratio-a-tribute-to-my-mother-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
