Anthony Ritchie  

Children and Adults

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 1992
four songs for soprano, clarinet and piano

  • Programme Note

    Children and Adults was conceived as a song cycle, commissioned by Rosemary Stott for the Klarion Trio in 1992. The different ways that children and adults view the world has been a recurring source of fascination for the composer (who has reared three children of his own). This is encapsulated in these four settings, in which issues such as life, death, survival and creativity emerge as the main themes.

Two Songs of Travel

 Year: 1992
for high voice, violin and piano

  • Instrumentation
    violin may be replaced by flute or clarinet; unison voices could perform this also
  • Programme Note

    These two songs were originally the third and fourth movements of my choral cycle Ports of Call written in early 1992 for the Auckland choir ‘Viva Voce’. When soprano Fiona Ferens approached me requesting a couple of songs for a recital I decided that re-workings of these pieces might prove suitable. The texts are both nineteenth century English ones, and the musical style is deliberately ‘mock Victorian’, even down to a passing hint of a well-known song from that era. The first song tells of the plight of being in Rotterdam while your loved one is still in England, whereas the second one presents the attitude of the foreigner in pre-twentieth century Japan.
