9.Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.Ashley says that all the events in his opera came from true happenings, and that all of the experiences related to the audience he felt a connection with.The voices chase each other and weave in and out of the musical score to form a wonderful tapestry of narratives and images.The expert ease with which the singers seem to work together sometimes creates a dreamlike experience, for each word they sing together and line they speak simultaneously is almost too good to be true.For one, Ashley does not use a live orchestra.His accompaniment music comes from electronic synthesizers and a pianist who interjects musically at times, but for the most part, the stage upon which Excursions is set works with five singers at desks, a silent dancer, and a pianist.Ashley stated that one ?Certainly the opera treats its theme of old age extraordinarily well, and its phantasmagoric presentation of events invites the audience to apply their own experiences to the opera, and thus give it so much more depth.The elderly men and women of this piece who tell their stories of sadness change in the first and third acts of this opera.Ashley stated that this burden is old age, and in the opera the counselor points out that everyone must bear this burden.James Joyce novel, and this can scare many away from his work.The key to unlocking it is an open mind.He has written two new librettos for operas that will premiere in New York in 2007.Written for theatre in 2003, this is another of Ashley's voice dramas with 'electronic orchestra' accompaniment.There are some extraordinary moments as Ashley abandons all musical distinctions and glosses pop, minimalism and quasi lounge in a dreamy suspension clouded around his eccentric, conversational, texts.Maybe not something you'd listen to all the way through more than once, but unique; odd and fascinating.Comes with a 108 pp book with full texts.The sign in front of a description indicates an item on sale.NOTE: The sign in front of a description indicates a sale item.Nights of Cabiria
