	WoVo-d (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Ran meets Plath on this highly visceral plane, with a setting that demands of performers and listeners alike an unusual degree of emotional and material stamina.
		For example, as the poem's narrator gradually succumbs to the pull of madness, Ran breaks the text into shorter and shorter fragments, until the singer is gasping a breath between each syllable, and repeating many times specific phrases which might echo in the now-delusional narrator's mind.
		Beyond the practical choice of text and singing voice, and the fact of the work speaking Ran's own musical voice, there is a global concern on her part with high-level faithfulness to the text, to the voice of the fictional female narrator.

		Shulamit Ran’s Soliloquy arose from her preoccupation over a couple years with the creation of her first opera, Between Two Worlds (The Dybbuk), based on S. Ansky’s famous Yiddish play by the same name.
		The title refers not only to Khonnon’s soliloquy, but also to the fact that, although written for a standard piano trio combination, it is, in fact, the violin which serves as the carrier, the “voice” of the piece and its emotional center.
		Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize in composition, Ran began composing songs to Hebrew poetry at the age of seven in her native Israel.
