This 16-minute monodrama for soprano and orchestra was inspired by Samuel Barber's 1962 dramatic monologue Andromache's Farewell, and like that work, it sets a scene from the great classical Greek dramatist Euripides. Barber's libretto is drawn from his tragedy The Trojan Women, and mine uses parts of a long monologue from another great Euripides tragedy, Medea. Although the protagonists and circumstances in the two scenes are very different, both compositions similarly share the very dark and tragic theme of mothers saying goodbye to their about-to-be murdered young sons.
