Roman Canticle (Score) MAW NICHOLAS

Classique

Description :

Set to by Robert Browning's poem Two In The Campagna, and presented to his his daughter Natasha and her husband Paul on their wedding anniversary. Maw's harmonic eloquence and rhythmic fervour crystallize the initial agitation to become a flowing vocal line coloured by the writing for flute, viola and harp, the words borne aloft like a continuation of the musical idea and resolved into the gentlest of instrumental postludes. Noël Goodwin, The Times, 6th November 1989
