Family Songs : for soprano and chamber orchestra / Edward Top; text Martinus Nijhoff, Hanny Michaelis, Edward Top

Auteur(s):
Michaelis, Hanny (Tekstdichter/librettist)
Nijhoff, Martinus (Tekstdichter/librettist)
Top, Edward (Tekstdichter/librettist)
Top, Edward (Componist)
Toelichting:
In Family Songs it was my objective to move towards simplicity and away from my usually complex and maximalist style. The texts, in both Dutch – my mother tongue - and English, are all chosen and written to express the honesty of life, memory and expectations of parent- and childhood. As such, upon reading, they almost dictated the music in an intuitive and folk-music-like way.

Edward Top, 2013
