The Handmaid's Tale is inspired by the chilling futuristic novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The four movements of this composition reflect my passionate reading of the Atwood text. In Margaret Atwood's own words: 1. "Night is the time for private thoughts, whispered communications in the training school for the Handmaids... We learned to whisper almost without sound. In the semidarkness we could stretch out our arms, when the Aunts weren't looking, and touch each other's hands across space." 2. Gilead, the home of the Handmaid, reflects a society in which the role of women and men has been redefined by massive infertility caused by world-wide nuclear and chemical pollution. "The bell that measures time is ringing, as once in nunneries. As in a nunnery too, there are few mirrors."
