Descripción de la:
Nicholas Maw’s The Head of Orpheus (1992) is a 6-minute setting of a poem by the American poet Robert Kelly for high voice and two clarinets. Written for Mary Wiegold and the Composers Ensemble, the score is prefaced by a chord from Act III Scene 4 of Berg’s Wozzeck and it is this source that provides the work with much of its harmonic and melodic material. Like Orpheus himself the vocal line wanders in an almost detached manner around the predominantly arabesque-like clarinet lines (the Maenads of the myth), lending to the work a further dramatic level. Following a return to the opening clarinet material, an almost disinterested parlando passage for voice brings the work to a sudden close.
