Metamorphoses after Ovid by Benjamin Britten (1913 – 1976)

Each of the six sections is based on a character from Roman mythology who is briefly described:

  1. Pan, “who played upon the reed pipe which was Syrinx, his beloved.”
  2. Phaeton, “who rode upon the chariot of the sun for one day and was hurled into the river Padus by a thunderbolt.”
  3. Niobe, “who, lamenting the death of her fourteen children, was turned into a mountain.”will
  4. Bacchus, “at whose feasts is heard the noise of gaggling women’s tattling tongues and shouting out of boys.”
  5. Narcissus by Caravaggio

    Narcissus, “who fell in love with his own image and became a flower.”

  6. Arethusa, “who, flying from the love of Alpheus the river god, was turned into a fountain.”

In der Fremde (In foreign parts) Translation:
From the direction of home, come red flashes of lightning Clouds descend,
But Father and Mother are long dead; No one there knows me anymore.
How soon, ah, how soon will that quiet time come, When I too shall rest
And over me the beautiful forest’s loneliness shall rustle,
And no one here shall know me anymore.
