A concert ‘Ruminations‘ in Castletown House on September 30th 2023 with Helen Hancock soprano, Annalisa Monticelli piano and Christopher Moriarty clarinet.
This programme explores the ruminations of a child from many angles: from racism to childhood innocence & magic, from isolation to idealism-a sense of longing for the world to be different.The programme includes several pieces for soprano, clarinet and piano including the famous Der Hirt auf dem Felsen and Auf dem Strom by Schubert, and Songs of Innocence by Arnold Cooke. Songs by Lili Boulanger and Irish composer Frederick May also feature, as does Fauré’s famous Elegy No. 24 for clarinet and piano, and a clarinet solo piece Draíocht, composed by Christopher Moriarty.
