The premiere performance of the SSAA version was given by the Zia Singers, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Karen Marrolli, conductor, Ann Hackett, alto soloist, Jessica Smucker, violinist, and Lydia Madrick, pianist, as part of the program "By Winter's Light," on January 26 and 27, 2013.
The text was written by the composer as an homage to traditional Irish love ballads. The soloist for this piece sings the English text and should have a light and lilting vocal quality, and the style of violin playing should have the feel of traditional Irish or Scottish music. The chorus sings the Gaelic text, for which a pronunciation guide is provided. Duration: 5:30 |
