for the same Pierrot ensemble, choosing text from the 29 unused poems of Albert Giraud's original cycle. Kraft set about writing movements based on Feerie, Mein Bruder, Harlequinade, and Selbstmord, with musical Interludes separating the movements, along with an extended Fantasmagoria preceding the concluding Selbstmord. in homage to Schoenberg, Kraft modified his own seven-tone environment to the master's 12-tone pallette, also using Schoenberg's speaking\/singing style in the vocal line. Each of the first three movements was premiered at the Institute over successive years, 1988 through 1990. Selbstmord would premiere in Boston in 1991 by Musica Viva. Kraft also created an orchestration of the work over a five year period, 1990-1994.

Kasemsri commemorating the heroism and death of Queen Suriyothai (Suriyodhaya in the poem) of which the last stanza is quoted above. The poem tells of the battle between Thailand (then called Ayudhya prior to Siam) led by King Phra Mahchakkraphat (or Chakraphat, 1548 - 69) and the invading Burmese led by the Prince of Pegu with an overwhelming force of over 300,000 men and 700 war elephants. Sensing the threat against her husband and, in the event of his death leaving Ayudhya without a King, Suriyodhaya disguised herself as a man, mounted a war elephant and entered the fray. As the Prince of Pegu was poised to strike a mortal blow to the King, Suriyodhaya interposed and took the blow herself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theodore Presser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41282827681871,"sku":"114-41218","price":73.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"kraft-variations-for-king-george-presser","title":"Kraft: Variations for King George","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/william-kraft\"\u003eWilliam Kraft (1923-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eTimpani\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variations for King George\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9781491100257\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theodore Presser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41333129085007,"sku":"114-40989","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/8731a5bb37d5261e077bd49eee310e48.jpg?v=1749482728"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/collections\/dofq7stons4wafujcxuw.png?v=1628253877","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/collections\/william-kraft.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
