Title: Musical Design in Sophoclean Theater
First published: 1996
Description: William C. Scott extends concepts set forth in his Goodwin Award-winning *Musical Design in Aeschylean Theater* (1984) by examining scansion patterns in the odes of the seven surviving Sophoclean tragedies. Analyzing the play as performed--its full expression in words, music, and dance--Scott finds that Sophocles' metrical patterns are not a secondary detail of the plays but a central feature of their musical organization.
