Deadly Pleasures. for narrator and instrumental ensemble. Composed by John Casken. 1949-. For saxophone, trumpet, piano, violin and amplified narrator. This edition. ED 13530-10. Set of parts. Language. English. 122 pages. Published by Schott Music. SD.49043955. With Language. English. This work's title comes from DM Thomas's dramatic poem on an imagined episode in the life of Cleopatra. Cleopatra offers any three men from her royal court a night of unbridled passion, in return for which they must forfeit their lives the next morning. Three men step forward, the last of which is the son she had by her brother Ptolemy, whom she gave away at birth. Unaware that Cleopatra is his mother, he gives her wine laced with mandragora and makes his escape before daybreak. The grisly tale provided the composer many opportunities for dramatic characterisation. The use of a narrator necessitated an episodic structure in which the music captures the atmosphere suggested by the text, and mirrors the different moods as the journey unfolds and the three characters live out their different fates.

Dodelike plesier. vir verteller en instrumentale ensemble. Gekomponeer deur John Casken. 1949 -. Vir saxofoon, trompet, klavier, viool en versterk verteller. Hierdie uitgawe. ED 13530-10.

Hierdie werk se titel is afkomstig van DM Thomas se dramatiese gedig op 'n denkbeeldige episode in die lewe van Cleopatra. Cleopatra bied enige drie mans uit haar koninklike hof 'n nag van ongebreidelde passie, in ruil vir wat hulle moet hul lewens die volgende oggend verbeur. Drie mans stap vorentoe, die laaste van wat is die seun sy het deur haar broer Ptolemy, wie sy weg by geboorte. Onbewus daarvan dat Cleopatra is sy ma, hy gee haar wyn gedraai met Mandragora en maak sy ontsnapping voor dagbreek. Die grusame verhaal op voorwaarde dat die komponis baie geleenthede vir dramatiese karakterisering. Die gebruik van 'n verteller genoodsaak 'n episodiese struktuur waarin die musiek vang die atmosfeer voorgestel deur die teks, en weerspieël die verskillende buie as die reis ontvou en die drie karakters hul verskillende lot uit te leef.
