Sea Song - Six-word opera - 2009
duration 2 minutes
Following the composition of Phantasy Caprices for an EMFEB concert at the Rosemary Branch Theatre I agreed (somewhat against my first/better instincts) to write a short "six-word opera" for James Young and his Warehouse Ensemble. There was to be an evening of "mini-operas", all setting six-word texts - I had not realised that this was such a widely used form! Mine is a poignant little parting scene by the sea.
I was told the event would be recorded or videoed, but despite several attempts I have unfortunately not been able to ascertain whether this was the case.
Scoring: soprano, baritone, clarinet in A, suspended cymbal, 'cello, piano
