The Tragedy of Macbeth
The Shakespeare Sessions
Released: October, 2007
Description: The Tragedy Of Macbeth is a drama-rock number that calls the main characters to the stage and portrays them as bloodied and bizarre in the unfolding of their fate. Like the play, the song opens in eerie storm, the sinister sounds of the Weird Sisters and their prophecy to Macbeth. Act 1 closes with a choral question that brings Lady Macbeth to the fore in dark, suspicious light. Act by act, the narrative marches forward in bold modern language and penetrates listeners with key lines and striking phrases from the play. Includes sonic battle scene and symbolic guitar solo; closes with re-questioning Lady Macbeth and a weird, unnatural doo-wop pitting birds against worms. 7 minutes, 49 seconds.
