Salome

Transcription for middle-sized orchestra by Eberhard Kloke (2019)

Music Drama in one act after Oscar Wilde's poem

My central objective in my transcription of Salome for 11 solo singers (including double roles) and 59 instrumentalists was to provide a practical performance alternative for this work while still retaining the fundamental compositional elements in the original score. In numerous passages, the lavish and heavy timbre has been lightened to streamline and heighten the overall sound. Eberhard Kloke
