Product Description

This short song for soprano and piano sets a poem by Robert Browning. The work principally uses the octatonic scale in a series of scalic semiquaver figurations, mainly in the right hand of the piano part. They seek to depict the sense of panic in the protagonist Eurydice as she seeks to see the face of her beloved, Orpheus. The declamatory vocal line develops a small number of key phrases and motifs. Meanwhile, the left hand of the piano part provides rhythmic interplay and interjects with occasional staccato bare fifths and octaves. The piece is appropriate for most standards of solo female voice whilst the piano accompaniment is best suited to advanced players.
Duration: 2 minutes 30 seconds.
