...help of anthropologist David Guss. These masques, performed by Europe, Americas, and Africa, are intended to represent themes of nature and multiculturalism to a modern audience. Unfortunately, Daniels' masques replace a considerable chunk of the original text: but then again, Shakespeare's masques never got an audience to clap along...

These two tracks offer a sense of agonized and feverish optimism that is a couterpart to the first side's confusion and depression. Interspersed between...
