THOMAS HYDE (b. 1978)Three Larkin Songs (2003)
View through CrossRef
This chapter assesses Thomas Hyde’s Three Larkin Songs (2003). These three short, contrasting songs to richly-layered Philip Larkin texts constitute a cycle that is a boon for young singers seeking a piece of modest demands and unobtrusive craftsmanship which lies easily in the voice. A touching slow movement is framed by two fast-moving numbers, distinct in character. Even a baritone should not be taxed by the tessitura—the range is highly practical for all except basses and altos. Obligingly, the composer even offers to transpose the songs to suit individual singers. This is a return to an earlier practice, when vocal sheet music was issued in different keys: Low, Medium, or High. Piano parts, economically structured and relatively undemanding, are tailored sensitively to the voice part in perfect balance.
