Description
For Soprano and Orchestra. Andrew Clements says 'None of the four songs lasts more than a few minutes, yet they pack in an astonishing range of emotional and vocal nuance. . .with wonderfully lucid colours drawn from a vastensemble; each song seems to define its sound world within a couple of bars, compressed into a phrase or a couple of chords. They are beautifully achieved little songs, brought off with the lightest of touches'.
