Sir Michael Tippett (Composer) | Sir Michael Tippett (Text writer) | Annie Dillard (Author of original text)
The Mask of Time
for soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone soloists, chorus and orchestra
text by Michael Tippett, W. B. Yeates, Annie Dillard and Mary Renault
Michael Tippett described this work as one that needed to ’confront and con- sider fundamental matters bearing upon man, his relationship with time, his place in the world as we know it and in the universe at large.' Part I of this huge work in particular considers the metaphor of the universe expanding in time.
