This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
We are delighted to announce publication of three very special song cycles by Timothy Bowers. The last words of famous people whether real or invented exert a strange fascination. Breaking with the tradition that a song cycle is a setting of poetry Timothy Bowers has chosen the last words of fourteen famous (in one case infamous) characters from history and two comic/ironic epitaphs by Byron as his texts. Each collection provides a short (c 7’) concert work with settings ranging from fifteen seconds to five minutes duration.Book 2 is for tenor and piano and traverses the widest emotional range within one volume. The poignant last words of a King a President a greatwriter and an heroic explorer sit beside the vengeful rantings of a prisoner sent for execution.
