Return to Nineveh
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: An extended voice composition (with electronic effects) based on excerpts from Nahum ("Nineveh is of old a watery pool..."). It uses a microphone with reverb and looper. Commissioned by Taylan Susam for the 2007 We Are All Mozart project. The commentary reads, "In ancient times, it is said that the city of Nineveh on the Tigris River was brought down by the wrath of a vengeful God. In modern times, its people have suffered again through great wars and civil strife. And now they suffer again through the vengeance of a small man who would be God."
