A
New World is a
musical story across five
movements with texts by
authors from Cicero and
Ovid to George William
Russel; from nursery
rhymes to war
poets.
The music
and texts link to form a
narrative that questions
what sort of ?New Worlds?
have come into existence,
or could be created in
our future, and considers
how we balance human
traits of fear,
displacement, isolation
and conflict with equally
human traits of love,
hope, forgiveness and
unity.
1. On
History
An
opening movement for SATB
choir, piano and timpani
(with solos for soprano,
tenor and alto). A calm
opening leads to a
dramatic conclusion with
text by Cicero and Ovid
in praise and recognition
of their
homeland.
