Amphion

DIRECTOR’S NOTEThis play is both a historical tragedy and a rambunctious exercise in classic rock.Amphion’s increasing conviction and attempts to wrest back control of her destiny shouldconnect with us on a personal level, while also being an example of high melodrama. Theproduction has taken this play’s historical facts very seriously, but has produced somethingfilled with anachronisms: a giant sandwich. A modern rock band sitting center stage andcracking beers. Booty shorts. It contains both comedy and drama, sappy ballads and heavymetal, hopefullness and cynicism. In other words, this show is full of contradictions thatwe’ve met head on as co-directors and has emerged from the creative process strongerfor its ability to sidestep categorization. We think this rock show contains something foreveryone, and it is best enjoyed with a cold beer in hand.“If only love ruled over empires, and the ambitions of men trembled before its power,instead of the other way around.” –Aran Keating and Matthew Casella

LIBRETTOLIBRETTO FOR THE BALTIMORE ROCK OPERA SOCIETY’S 2016 SPRING/SUMMER PRODUCTION OF AMPHIONWhen Matt and Aran approached me about musical directing Amphion I had to thinkabout it for a minute. BROS has a pretty stellar track record, not only musically butin all aspects of what they do, and I certainly didn’t want to be the first one to muckthat up. I didn’t get to experience Amphion the first time around (the first BROSshow I saw was The Electric Pharaoh) so I made a point to listen to the soundtracksof the shows I’d missed, and listened to the video recording of Amphion religiouslyfor a few weeks.Since Aran had a hand in writing the original songs he had a unique perspectiveas co-director this time around, and wanted give the show more of a world musicvibe. Rhythm is one of the best ways to identify where a style of music originates,so I made an effort to emphasize rhythm in the songs. It helps when you havea great rhythm section from the outset. There isn’t a ton of information aboutByzantine-era music, especially outside of the church, so the show truly does haveglobal influences – you’ll hear some Latin dance rhythms, Western church choir,and American R&B, just to name a few.I need to give an extra-special shout out to Lauren Aycock Anderson: I’m notmuch of a singer, but fortunately for me, she is. Her choir arrangements and vocalrehearsals were invaluable, and really bring the show up to another level. –Nick JewettWARNING! READING THE FOLLOWING LYRICSBEFORE THE SONGS ARE PERFORMED COULDCLUE YOU IN TO PIVOTAL PLOT POINTS ANDGENERALLY AWESOME PARTS OF THE SHOW.DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU LIKE SPOILERS!

THE BALLAD OF NASREEN NASREENMusic & Lyrics by Aran Keating & Dylan Koehler The chariot race this season past, Where bloody riots loosed,The rain begins to fall, my breathing’s Citizens made pleas to spare their kinsmenStopped and all my power’s fading From the hangman’s nooseThe birds begin to call, the stormclouds clearLike sunrise has been waiting Through the night the city burned, And prisoners ran freeI’m hoping you can help me find Justinian wished to escape,What it takes to keep my mind out of trouble Before a sharp knife sealed his fateThe mountains strongAgainst the ocean’s tide Gold was paid to soldiersMy vision’s clear now with you here, Who would kill their friends for bread,And I finally see the door into heaven, We purchased peace through treachery,Time for me to turn the key And blood which flowed from Roman headsAnd put my pride aside 30,000 men were killed,We’re walking side by side, I’ve turned my But nothing much was learnedBack to the foolishness behind me It’s all the same in the endThe answer’s in your eyes,I see a friend with the wisdom to remind me BOTH When Sassanids come from the EastI’m hoping you can be the one To meet in Roman lands,To help me to become something better While talking peace,And when I struggle who could be my guide Their minds are scheming,Someone strong I could stand beside Those who think are unbelievingAnd open wide the door into heaven,Time for me to turn the key Festivals and pageantryAnd caress you from inside Can’t hide the bloody deeds, Justinian does not want peace,The rain begins to fall, my breathing’s His sword is restless in its sheathstopped and all my power’s fading Khosrow, knowing that he’ll pay,IT’S ALL THE SAME (IN THE END) Extorted riches moreMusic & Lyrics by Aran Keating & Dylan Koehler But lovers meet who see the madness,Arranged by Gazellynxxx Stop this age of endless sadnessAMPHION Strength I’ll try to find to right the wrongsIn 4 twelve Anno Domini This world has madeIn E’Ran’s founding days, Yet it’s all the same in the endThe Shah held masquerades and fine paradesFor men of noble blood PROTEST SONG Music & Lyrics by Aran Keating & Dylan KoehlerLavish dancing, horses, Vocal arrangement by Dylan KoehlerNo expense was spared Horn arrangement by Nick JewettBut people stared in disbelief;Those luxuries meant less to eat, Your light is the vanishing twilight Your passion the well running dryFourteen days of riots and the flames Your fear is the fear of an angelTaught well those men Who’s taken for granted immortalityWhen ends can justify your means,A thirst for blood is what you need Your light is a blistering sunset Your bane is the truth bare and frailThrough the ages Fools and sages My teeth are sharp as an adder’sSing that same old song These fangs are my freedomIt’s all the same in the end Their aim cannot fail

My light is a vine that is creeping When my charms do not charm enoughMy place is the cracks in between As I struggle and fight through the darknessMy history, fierce and unpleasant I wander adrift, her life is a giftThere is no peace treaty to erase the deeds I cannot choose doomHe claims to be immortal Won’t give up the promise I’ve madeBut his infamy will die She spit in his faceThese men only worship Abandoned herself to the graveWhat gold pieces buy Justinian’s vision is clearWhen my corpse lays in the street He delivers prosperity if we complyCovered by flies The stakes for me aren’t merely strifeWho’ll be there to measure But to give up my friend or give up my life!The cost of your lies? NARSESYour feast is the feast of the devil He’s all that I have to give hope toYour pleasures are cruelty and greed This wretched soulYou come here to sneer and retortKnowing Constantinople When I’m left second guessing myself,Must pay you with heed. My voice is not loud enough to drown Out the resounding refrain of my failuresWho came here to spoil and taint My fearsOur fair land? What selfish aims they whisper The one’s who I’ve lost,While they’re making their plans The friends who I’ve left behind, When my wits are not fast enoughNo blade can purge the vengeance As I struggle and fight through the darknessContained in my hands I wander adrift, his life is a giftThe breadth of my justiceUnmeasured by man BOTH Don’t be a cowardWRETCHED SOUL Use your headMusic by Aran Keating & Nick Jewett We must let reason guide usLyrics by Aran Keating Or more end up deadTHEODORA You’re just like her/him, rebellious and cruelI can see from your face Allowing yourself to be led by a foolYou’re trapped by decisions you’ve madeIt’s becoming too late She/He’s all that I have to give hopeYour soul is forfeit in this race To this wretched soulJust weeks ago, peace was a dream When I’m left second guessing myself,Now we’re here My voice is not loud enough to drownAnd you’re letting bar-barity win Out the resounding refrainThe music that Amphion brings is a Of my failures my fearsGlimpse of a world without failing or sin NARSES THEODORAShe’s all that I have to give hope The one’s who The friends whoTo this wretched soul I’ve lost I’ve left behindWhen I’m left second-guessing myself, BOTHMy voice is not loud enough to drown When my best is not good enoughOut the resounding refrain of my failures As I struggle and fight through the darkness I wander adrift, his/her life is a giftMy fears, the one’s who I’ve lost,The friends who I’ve left behind,
