## Summary

Upon Silence Mezzo Soprano and String Ensemble voice score by George Benjamin, featuring a minimalist cover with a sketch of a long-legged fly.

## Description

Upon Silence sets Long-legged Fly , a late poem of Yeats which portrays three momentous figures in history absorbed in silent contemplation: Julius Caesar planning a crucial military campaign, Helen of Troy as an adolescent in Sparta and Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. The verses are set in a syllabic manner, while each successive chorus is set to increasingly lengthy melismas as, like the long-legged fly above water, the voice hovers above the strings. For Mezzo Soprano with String Ensemble.
