Solo Voice and Duets<br />
Solo Voice and Vocal Duet<br />
Arachne<br />
Soprano and percussion<br />
Score 9780193863514<br />
A dramatic song cycle for soprano solo in four movements.<br />
The accompaniment is for crotale (or any other suitable<br />
percussion instrument), and the performer can add stage<br />
movement, costume, and lighting to create theatrical<br />
effect.<br />
12 minutes<br />
A girl’s song to her mother<br />
Voice and oboe (or other melody instrument)<br />
Score 9780193863521<br />
A tender, deeply touching extended song which is within<br />
the scope of students, A girl’s song to her mother is a<br />
companion piece to Wings of the Grasses. Each piece recalls<br />
the open, high moorland of South Wales. In A girl’s song to<br />
her mother the voice is a younger person comforting an<br />
older one. In Wings of the Grasses the voice changes from<br />
that of a child to that of a reflective adult.<br />
6 minutes<br />
The Moor<br />
Soprano and mezzo-soprano<br />
Score 9780193861503<br />
This unaccompanied duet for soprano and mezzo-soprano<br />
conflates R. S. Thomas’ beautiful poem on the sacred<br />
quality of moorland with passages from three different<br />
Psalms and a line from the hymn ‘Rheidol’. This is both a<br />
fine concert piece and an imaginative, compelling anthemsubstitute<br />
whose technical demands are well within reach<br />
of most female soloists.<br />
5 minutes<br />
Mother and Son<br />
Soprano, E flat clarinet, violin, viola, and cello<br />
Score 9780193860575<br />
This short ensemble piece is a moving setting of a poem by<br />
R.S. Thomas depicting a son begging his mother to let him<br />
go and experience life in its fullness. The accompaniment is<br />
suitable either for clarinet with viola and cello, or for string<br />
trio.<br />
3 minutes<br />
Songs of the Cotton Grass<br />
Soprano and oboe<br />
Score 9780193364547<br />
Four songs set to texts by the Welsh poet Menna Elfyn,<br />
Songs of the Cotton Grass are in turn tender, reflective,<br />
lively, and full of the imagery of landscapes ranging from<br />
the open, high moorland of South Wales to the cotton<br />
plantations of the USA’s deep South.<br />
20 minutes<br />
Wings of the Grasses<br />
Voice and oboe<br />
Score 9780193867772<br />
Wings of the Grasses was composed as a companion piece<br />
to A girl’s song to her mother. Each piece recalls the open,<br />
high moorland of South Wales. In A girl’s song to her mother<br />
the voice is a younger person comforting an older one. In<br />
Wings of the Grasses the voice changes from that of a child<br />
to that of a reflective adult.<br />
