Can it be that, even in heaven, women work a second shift? Joan Szymko's setting turns the sense of Byron's poem on its head. She imagines a heaven where frazzled angels never rest: the lurching rhythms and goofy chromatics of the heavenly choir showcase a soprano soloist who spins out of control...
