This month, Fand Music Press presents a new choral work and a new song. Philip Mead’s setting of Ave Maris Stella is a plaintively simple one for upper voices (SSA) only, with piano accompaniment.
Red Kite Flying is Adrian Williams’ contribution to A Garland for Presteigne, a cycle of twelve songs by ten composers commissioned by the Presteigne Festival on the borders of Wales to celebrate its 21st birthday. This is the concluding song from the cycle, and uses a musical depiction of the red kite, a familiar Welsh resident, as a metaphor for flights of the human heart. Both music and words are by the composer. Already performed by a number of high-profile professional singers such as Gillian Keith and Roderick Williams, the song may be sung by female or male singers.
