Description:
A new edition of three charming settings of New Zealand poetry: "Clear Sky" and "The Picnic" by Ruth Dallas, and "Summer Afternoon" by Basil Dowling.
Lilburn wrote of them: "The three poems set here have always seemed to me to share some ambient and most poignant awareness of our experience on these islands, whether of small remote sounds in summer, the desolation of a crippled gull, or the brilliance of summer harvesting, or whatever might make us feel at home" (Douglas Lilburn).Three Songs are recorded by Jose Aparicio (tenor) and Paul Cibis (piano) on Wai-te-ata Music Press WTA009, and by Tracey Chadwell (soprano) and Pamela Lidiard (piano) on British Music Press BMS421.
