Opera Vocal Score. Composed by Gerald Barry. This edition: Ring/Spiral binding. Sheet music. Vocal Score. Classical. Softcover. Composed 2013-2015. 256 pages. Duration 3600 seconds. Schott Music #ED13984. Published by Schott Music (HL.49046197).

ISBN 9790220137693. UPC: 841886032583. 9.75x12.0x0.933 inches. English - German - French - Russian. Libretto: Lewis Carroll.

Gerald BarryÂ’s new opera is based on Lewis CarrollÂ’s two beloved books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. As with Barry's last opera, the lauded The Importance of Being Earnest, the composer has created the libretto himself from the authorÂ’s original texts. Thus, the work remains faithful to many aspects of the Alice story but is trimmed and compressed into acompact 70-minute opera in one act. Barry's characteristic highspeed energy and riotous sense of humour propel the action forward in this surreal plunge into the depths of Wonderland.

Water Parted is from Barrys opera The Intelligence Park, and tells the story of a composer who has lost the power to write, later rediscovering it through an obsession with a castrato. The work alternates a beautiful fragility with moments of violent, angular virtuosity: a fantastic recital piece for soprano and piano.

Gerald Barry's The coming of winter is a setting of an Irish poem dating from the 9th or 10th century, and was commissioned for the 34th Seminar on Contemporary Choral Music at University College, Cork, in May 1997. The setting is notable for its idiosyncratic use of text: not only are the words of the poem sung both forwards and backwards, but the second half of the piece is given over to percussive nonsense syllables, making this a quirky but highly invigorating image of 'the coming of winter'.

Text from the well-known Christmas song is merged with a tune from Barry's own 4th String Quartet in this unconventional carol. With Barry's characteristic rich and unexpected harmonies, O Tannenbaum would be a fantastic contemporary addition to a Christmas programme.

Triorchic Blues began as a study for Barry's opera The Triumph of Beauty and Deceit, but the developed into this vivacious and rhythmically driven piece for solo piano, which explores the extreme registers of the instrument. The work also exists in a version for solo violin.

Au Milieu is a paraphrase of “_______”, an ensemble piece from 1979. “_______” was written after seeing an exhibition of Rothko paintings which made me want to do something as focussed and intense. The term Au Milieu is used in ballet to describe exercises performed away from the barre. The music's element therefore is danger, especially for the performer.
