Work
Clinging Things
for female vocal trio, taonga pūoro and cello
About
“We are three tender clinging things,
With palpitating natures;
We can’t endure that gentlemen
Should think of us as creatures
Who dress like frights and want their rights,
Or business to attend to;
Or have their view or ask the news,
Or anything that men do…”
