Text: Old Testament.
Mezzo-soprano, Piano Duration: 5' Text: Old Testament Composed: 1983 Published by: Subito Music Publishing The aria's biblical text, which deals with the Jews' exile into Babylonia, was set in a straight forward, atmospheric, syllabic manner. Its stark piano accompaniment and long-breathed, darkly eloquent melodic line (adapted from fragments by the Renaissance madrigalist Carlo Gesualdo) proved extremely apposite. --The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
