Elixir

Program notes :
Elixir – Night & Mystery (Tba, Tbn, Baritone) ~ 8 min

Elixir – Night & Mystery is a manifestation of a “ falsch Musical “. Humor is incorporated with seriousness in the musical context. As it unfolds its roots throughout the piece, the
“ preposterous” elements appear within the sincere context and will live their own life till the last moment of the piece. In this short Musical, which is about the Elixirs of love, Night & Mystery speak about themselves and their role in being the Elixirs of love.

• The text is derived from the Fairy Queen Opera by Henry Purcell. Act II
