the under-side of green

Uraufführung am 11.10.1994 in London: Zanfonia Trio

Der dem Stück zugrundeliegende Text aus dem Ulysses von James Joyce lautet:

"…the old castle thousands of years old yes and …glancing eyes a lattice hid for her lover to kiss the iron and the wineshops half open at night and the castanets and… serenr with his lamp and O that awful deep-down torrent O and the sea the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and… yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and… or shall I wear a red yes and how he…"

Das Stück wurde für Zanfonia and Joe and Lilly geschrieben.
