Journal Article
Adela in the Cave
2024
Overview
A monodrama, ca. 12-15 minutes, for soprano, echo and small chamber orchestra, based on a scene in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India. A note on performance: at the composer's discretion, words of Echo (shown in upper case) may mingle freely with Adela's sung material. Instrumental prologue precedes entrance of Adela Quested Adela (to audience, spoken, pleasant and confidential at first but with increasing passion and angst): How's one to see the real India? (Arioso) The Marabar Hills, not to be missed, the guidebooks say, and so we came. No doubt his wife and children are also beautiful. The English in India, Insulting and bungling, with our silly topees and swagger sticks... (Short instrumental interlude, Adela moving towards entrance of the cave) So, I will have Ronny. A marriage like others... the club every evening, every evening the club. Echo (louder, repeated, more insistent): IS WHERE 15 SHE, IS ME, 15 THERE, ESMISS ESMOORE . . . Rape! (running blindly off stage).
