- Summary:
- The Simoon -- the violent, hot wind that blows in the North African desert -- gives its name to August Strindberg's psychological drams published in 1889. Third in a triptych of operas which the composer, Glaswegian Erik Chisholm, wrote after his move to South Africa in the late 1940s is an adaptation of Strindberg's play. It evokes the desert setting through a blend of Hindustani scales and a skilfull use of free twelve-tone technique but was never performed with an orchestra during the composer's lifetime.
