‘Raise no funeral song’ sets a fragment from the first scene of “Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus: A Version for the Modern Stage” by W.B. Yeats. It is intended in the manner of a narration rather than as a piece for the stage. As in storytelling, a singer delivers the utterances of all the characters. The piano provides evocative shards of music that punctuate the narrative.
