Summary:
It is a solidly constructed work, a 44 minute modern day Faust legend ranging in idiom from traditional German classicism to contemporary tone clusters that occasionally flirt with atonality.
The score adheres to the slightly surrealistic English libretto by poet Alfred Perry. With the Versailles Treaty as it’s implied starting point, the allegory examines the 20th Century Gotterdammerung with the chorus cast as the gods, the contralto as Mother Earth, the tenor as the Devil.
