Work Overview
The title, from Shakespeare's Hamlet, comes from Gertrude's
speech about the death of Ophelia, who in her madness chanted
"snatches of old tunes" (in the First Quarto and First Folio
editions) or "snatches of old lauds" (in the Second Quarto).
Lauds, which should be pronounced like Lords, is an old word
meaning hymns.
This piece was composed for Henri Bok who gave the first
performance at the Aspekte festival in Salzburg, Austria, on
March 2, 2003.
