''Ulysses Awakes'' ''(after Monteverdi)'' is a musical composition for solo viola and strings by English composer John Woolrich.〔(Faber Music: ''Ulysses Awakes'' )〕 It is a creative transcription of Ulysses' first aria in act 1, scene 7 of Claudio Monteverdi's opera ''Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria''. Ulysses has been washed up on the coast of Ithaca, his homeland. : ''Am I sleeping or awake? : ''And what country surrounds me?'' 'It's a powerfully effective piece, which manages to be utterly faithful to the spirit of Monteverdi and yet entirely part of Woolrich's musical world, too.' 〔(The Guardian: Scottish Ensemble Review, 1 July 2011. )〕 ''Ulysses Awakes'' was commissioned by Dartington International Summer School and first performed there by Clare Finnimore and the Guildhall String Ensemble on August 11, 1989. ==Instrumentation== Solo viola with 6 violins, 1 viola, 2 cellos, 1 double bass 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ulysses Awakes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
