With his opera Hamlet, which premiered in Glyndebourne in 2017, the composer Brett Dean added a new, modern analysis to the certainly numerous artistic ones of the famous subject - with enormous success, as the press reviews and many subsequent stage productions attested. The composer's and his librettist Matthew Jocelyn's fruitful examination of Shakespeare's text material yielded both the full-length opera and several concertante “by-productsâ€: And once I played Ophelia for soprano and string quartet, From Melodious Lay, an orchestral poem with solo soprano and solo tenor, the suite Gertrude Fragments for mezzo-soprano and guitar, and Confessio for solo bass clarinet. Confessio describes an appearance by Hamlet's uncle Claudius: In the castle chapel he deliversa short monologue – rather a reflection than a prayer or confession. Claudius reveals to himself the deep fear of the consequences of his murderous deed - and a vague, though hardly justifiable, hope for mercy.

An alternating stream of thoughts for bass clarinet - free and restless, tender and brutal, angry, singing. This short solo piece, like an exclamation mark, is given by the interpreter * in space to struggle to shake off conventions, in short, to play. The composer - i.a. Professor of media composition (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) and visiting professor forexperimental composition (UdK Berlin) - encourages quasi-improvisation, a wild ride through emotional states and playing techniques. Caution, risk of explosion!

Orcus, presented by the composer in a version for contraforte as well, is a virtuoso solo which gives the instrument the character of a 'bass nightingale'. Mockery and humour, however, are disregarded. This composition rather is a piece of archaic language-like character. Lamenting vocal tones are crossed dramatically by staccatos.
