Many meter changes, vocalese passages, high and fast flute passages. Several glissandos in voice part and several directions to bend notes in flute. A powerful setting of Ajax's suicide speech. One of the composers' Vietnam War protest pieces. Chromatic setting, often somewhat dissonant between voice and left hand of piano.
Piano provides anchors for both singer's and listener's ear.
