Ross Carey

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 2005
for piano, violin and mezzo soprano

Programme Note

The rather elegiac mood of the poem is reflected in this setting for voice, violin and piano. The opening violin motif recurs later in the song as an ostinato, heard first in the piano, then the violin, reflecting the poem’s sentiment -

“I do not remember these things, they remember me
Not as child or woman
But as the last excuse to stay
Not wholly to die”.
