Weir, Judith - On White Meadows (Bass)

Version for Bass. Composed for the 11th International Chamber Music Competition "Franz Schubert and Modern Music", On White Meadows is a setting in English of five short verses from Wilhelm Müller's Die Winterreise in which the thoughtful traveller views fields, trees and skies. Around the singer's wide, extended phrases, the piano creates an 'open air' atmosphere. The song is available in transpositions for soprano/tenor, mezzo soprano, baritone and bass.
