Rapture, Noah Max

Text from the award-winning collection by Carol Ann Duffy

Duffy’s Rapture follows the narrator as they fall in love and then lose their beloved. Noah Max’s setting rearranges the story, starting with what has been lost before working back to the height of love, almost in a dream: “You pass the moon to me, like a loving cup. I roll you the sun.” The performance will be the world premiere of the work.
