Inspired by:
"King Arthur" by Henry Purcell
This work was commissioned by Opera Atelier
Libretto:
"Two daughters of this aged stream are we,
And both our sea-green locks have comb’d for thee.
Come bathe with us an hour or two;
Come naked in, for we are so.
What danger from a naked foe?
Come bathe with us, come bathe, and share
What pleasures in the floods appear.
We’ll beat the waters till they bound
And circle round, and circle round."
