The Daughter Of Capulet

Description

Voice, Piano — Prolific vocal composer Thomas Pasatieri gives us a new monodrama for voice and piano, based on Juliet’s most famous soliloquys from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The piece follows Juliet from her famous lament of Romeo’s relation to the Montagues (“O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?”) to the tragic end of her life (“O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die”). A lovely, passionate work that truly showcases both technical and expressive skills.
