Almost an Island

Duration: 07' 00" Year: 2005
for soprano and piano

  • Programme Note

    ‘Almost an Island’, a phrase which refers to the Otago peninsula, is the title I’ve given to a short set of haiku written by peninsula poets, which I set for voice and piano as a wedding present for my then neighbours, Breffni and Dave.
