Publisher Desc.
Five movements; mezzo-soprano or countertenor, harpsichord, cello; ca. 11 min.
The composer writes: William Blake's Songs of Innocence of 1789 have been set to music by several composers, including Ralph Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten and William Bolcom. Here, I have selected five of these poems for a "baroque" setting, suitable for either mezzo-soprano or counter-tenor, with cello and harpsichord.
