In his
String Quartet (1956)
Arne Nordheim used the
title EPITAFFIO for the
third and last movement.
And in 1963 he used this
title again, now for a
complete work: Epitaffio
per orchestra ed nastro
magnetico. This
orchestral work
incorporates the
Quasimodo text, sung by a
children's chorus, on a
tape accompanying the
orchestra towards the end
of the piece. The present
choral version was
arranged and typeset by
Andrew Smith, based on
the instrumental movement
from the string quartet,
as well as the choral
treatment in the
orchestral setting.
