Bussotti: La Passion Selon Sade [excerpt w/ score]

Excerpt of Sylvano Bussotti's Passion Selon Sade (1964) with the score. If anyone would like a copy of the full score, drop me a personal message.

Bussotti's "opera" Passion, according to Sade was presented in Sweden in 1968. Without a plot and without characterization in the usual sense, it is in the tradition of the theater of the absurd. When the curtain opens, a piano, a harp, an electric organ and a harpsichord are seen, along with a clothes rack on which there are numerous costumes. The performers change costumes from time to time, while projections are shown on the back wall of the stage, and tapes of distorted words and music are played. Here, too, every performance is different. Success depends on the ability of the performers to improvise and on the empathy of the audience. Passion, according to Sade piqued Bussotti's interest in theater, which came increasingly to occupy his imagination in the 1970s.

I've heard a fair amount of Bussoti's music, but this is the first time I really fell in love with one of his works. I gotta check out the whole thing now. Thanks for posting :)
