Carl Fischer Juliet by her Window

Description

Composed for Soprano, Flute, Clarinet in Bb, Violin, Cello, and Piano, Daniel S. Godfrey´s Juliet at her Window includes four texts taken primarily from Act II, Scene II of Shakespeare´s Romeo and Juliet, with supplemental passages from elsewhere in the play. Lines are combined and rearranged to form brief, thematically related stanzas in each song. Godfrey´s intention was to focus on Juliet´s breathless optimism and extroverted declarations of love while hinting at the pathos, denial and isolation from reality that he believes underly them.
