Dramatic scene for soprano and symphony orchestra. Composed by Rodion Shchedrin. This edition: vocal/piano score. Downloadable, vocal/piano score. Duration 15 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q23950. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q23950).Russian.
This monodrama sums up the essential moments of the second scene from Act V of Shakespeare's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra in the Russian translation of Boris Pasternak. The conflict between life and death, between the power of love and the 'power drug' as motives for the suicide of the legendary beauty is transformed into a sensually ardent musical language which can bring out the tessitura of a dramatic soprano very effectively.
