Yeats Songs (V.117)
A cycle of six songs to
texts from the great Irish poet, set for baritone and piano. The songs
each exhibit eclectic influences and yet embody an overarching unity
throughout the entire cycle.
The cycle alternates
between texts set in traditional song forms, and with a definite bow to
Irish folk melody, and more atmospheric, quasi-soliloquy settings.
Continuity is retained through harmonic threads and thematic unity, yet
within this framework the cycle provides something for all listeners.
