Hesketh's Shimmerwords
and Idle Songs for
soprano and piano is a 18
minute song cycle made up
of six songs in four
sections. The text is
taken from a collection
of Chinese poetry from
the 8th and 9th centuries
which cover various
subjects from nature and
travel to life itself.
The music is both
colourful and direct with
an abundance of humour
and clarity.
