Swann, Donald - Brendan Ahoy! Vocal Score

Music by Donald Swann
Words by Arthur Scholey

This vivid account of the Brendan story can be performed by any combination of children and adults with piano, and is equally suitable for semi-staging cantata style or for a full dramatic production. Words by Arthur Scholey and music by Donald Swann tell of the original discovery of America in colourful terms, but with a sub text relating to joy in the created world, and the spiritual hopes and uncertainties relating to any voyage of human discovery.
