Beschreibung:
'Ms. Bond's work; a setting of the final section pf Ulysses; grants Molly something that Joyce denied her when he married her off to Bloom: she lets Molly be a prima donna; and gives her a powerful; stylistically varied and technically demanding soprano line. Like Joyce's text; it is by turns wistful; angry; caustic; rhapsodic and nostalgic. And around it; Ms Bond has woven an expressive; dynamic quartet score in which the instruments are heard alone; in duets with Molly; and in a promiscuous combination of duets; trios and full ensembles. The language is pervasively chromatic; yet it takes in influences of all sorts; including blues; a waltz and fragments of popular songs mentioned by Joyce.' -The New York Times 'Impressive; ambitious and effective.' -Harold Prince
