Excerpt from "Auto da fé", a 20-minute musical theater piece about a woman in emotional extremis because she's been abandoned by her lover.
Composer: Mark N. Grant
Text: Ilsa Gilbert
Performed by Downtown Music Productions, NY, NY
Beginning ("While you are gone, my fair one...") jumps to second excerpt:
"No! If I were a follower of Saint Anthony,
I would feel complaisant in this,
But it is this inhabited room that I sense,
And with tense heart, I gobble tarts
And prophesy my doom gleefully,
Waiting for you, for our wanton revelries...."
