Description
Bernard Rands’s work „now again – fragments from Sappho“ consists of four sections that suggest Invocation, Convocation, Consumation and Introspection. The texts are a compilation of renderings from Sappho which Rands combined into a sort of 'libretto' that forms the basis of a dialogue between the mezzo solo and the two women in the ensemble.
'The melodic lines and the harmonic language are somewhat simpler than that normally associated with my music', comments Rands, 'for the basic reason that Sappho was a singer (musician) who sang her love poems to the accompaniment of a lyre. I cannot conceive of a post-2nd Viennese sound world (of whatever kind) which would be suitable for such love poems.' (Bernard Rands)
