for SATB, piano, and optional saxophone, bass, and drum kit
Ophelia, Caliban, and Miranda puts a jazzy twist on three
Shakespearean characters. With newly written texts by Charles
Bennett, each of the three movements focuses in on Ophelia from
Hamlet and Caliban and Miranda from The Tempest. In the funky
opener, 'River Bride', the upper voices take the part of Ophelia,
while the tenors and basses play a lover figure. Caliban's song,
'Ariel taught me how to play', is a reflective ballad in which the
slave tells Miranda, who has escaped his advances, about the spirit
helper Ariel teaching him to play the saxophone. The final
movement, 'All good things come to an end', is a sassy yet tender
number, where Miranda bids farewell to her beloved husband
Ferdinand, declaring: 'I've gone back to the island to remember who
I am'. The piano part may be played as written or serve as a guide,
and a part for saxophone, bass, and drum kit is available
separately for jazz quartet accompaniment.
