Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is a dramatic oratorio in four parts, composed by Théodore Dubois with a libretto by Edouard Blau, based on John Milton's epic poem of the same name. This work brings Milton's profound narrative of the fall of man to life through powerful vocal arrangements and dramatic orchestration. The oratorio explores themes of temptation, sin, redemption, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Baker's English translation enhances accessibility to the work, allowing a broader audience to appreciate Dubois's musical interpretation of Milton's masterpiece. Suitable for both concert performance and dedicated listening, 'Paradise Lost' remains a compelling example of the fusion of literature and music, appealing to lovers of classical music, religious works, and dramatic storytelling.
