SYNOPSIS
A famous blues singer is warming up in her dressing room before the show. Her partner, Jack, enters and a fight begins.
MUSIC DESCRIPTION
Abrupt style and mood changes characterize this fight between a blues singer and her partner. Sung in operatic voice with references to—and imitations of—blues singing, the scene centres around a brief ballad-like duet, bookended by disjointed, argumentative phrases that reflect the tension of the moment.
