Programme Note
This song cycle for piano and voice was commissioned by Wigmore Hall for internationally acclaimed countertenor Lawrence Zazzo and is an exploration of the differing facets of the Shakespearean fool, not just that of the assumed ‘idiot’. Starting with the anger of the battered, subjugated Dromio of Ephesus, it journeys through Feste’s melancholy, Dromio of Syracuse’s lust for his domineering and shapely wife and ends with Gobbo’s conflicted vow to flee his master.
Zazzo premiered this work at Wigmore Hall in June 2014.
