• I Sonetti Lussuriosi sets graphic erotic texts by the Renaissance poet and iconoclast Pietro Aretino...[The work] set the words in Nyman's straight-forward way for the equally down-to-earth soprano Marie Angel. The question was, what could the music add? In the end, it served to dissolve the male-female differences as Angel voiced both participants' demands and satisfactions with the same energy and delight. Composed around the same time as 50,000 Pairs of Feet..., it did similar time-bending things although the emotional climate was more heated, achieving an exultant grandeur.
