Family Songs : for soprano and chamber orchestra / Edward Top; text Martinus Nijhoff, Hanny Michaelis, Edward Top

Author(s):
Michaelis, Hanny (Text writer/Librettist)
Nijhoff, Martinus (Text writer/Librettist)
Top, Edward (Text writer/Librettist)
Top, Edward (Composer)
Description:
In Family Songs it was my objective to move towards simplicity and away from my usually complex and maximalist style. The texts, in both Dutch – my mother tongue - and English, are all chosen and written to express the honesty of life, memory and expectations of parent- and childhood. As such, upon reading, they almost dictated the music in an intuitive and folk-music-like way.
