The
Exiles
Music by Arnold Schoenberg
Male-female duet – 18 minutes
Limón’s original program note was taken from John Milton’s
Paradise Lost: “They, looking
back, all the eastern side beheld of paradise, so late their happy
seat.” This virtuosic duet, a dramatic presentation of Adam
and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden, has three sections:
“The Flight,” “The Remembrance,” and “the
Cherubims and a flaming sword”. |
