Satyagraha
“I Come Into Being Age After Age…. Thrusting The Evil Back And Setting Virtue On Her Seat Again”Her Majesty's Theatre
09 Aug - 23 Aug 2014Satyagraha is a score of luminous beauty, written for an orchestra of triple woodwinds and a full complement of strings; one electric organ was used to fill out the string parts and allow the winds some time to breathe.
Over the course of scene 1, Gandhi is by joined Arjuna, Krishna, and the chorus; the orchestration also increases in density until the entire orchestra is playing.
The Trilogy Theme can be heard in Act 1 and Act 3, musically drawing together distant moments in Gandhi’s life. It appears int he final moments of the opera, with an added flute line, as Gandhi sings the words of Lord Krishna “I come into being age after age…. thrusting the evil back and setting virtue on her seat again”
