Samuel, Rhian - Yr Alarch (The Swan). Baritone
Range: G sharp - G sharp (plus falsetto C)
Prized among Welsh speakers, the anonymous 14th-century poem Yr Alarch (The Swan) is a striking verbal portrait of this being without blemish, conveyed in terms of memorable imagery which has inspired Rhian Samuels short setting for unaccompanied baritone. A rarity in its being a true solo song, this stirring tone-picture is also a showpiece, part lyrical, part declamatory, with contemporary vocal techniques sensitively employed. It will be enjoyed by Welsh-speaking singers and audiences for its heightened atmosphere that conveys the magical presence of a creature bright-white above birds …: Heavens cockerel, a shining crag.
