SADIE HARRISON (b. 1965)Easter Zunday (2008)
View through CrossRef
This chapter highlights Australian-born composer Sadie Harrison’s Easter Zunday (2008). This poem by William Barnes paints a lively portrait of an Easter celebration in the West Country, and is set with artful, infectious relish—an ingenious amalgam of the rustic and the sophisticated. It undoubtedly needs a tenor of special histrionic gifts, one unencumbered by inhibition, able to assume and sustain a ripe Dorsetshire accent with confidence. As the piece nears its climax, stamina will be put to the test—phrases expand, and an exhilarating final surge of energy could prove dauntingly strenuous. The composer’s indications aptly confirm the uplifting spirit of both text and music. Like the voice part, the accompaniment is rhythmically complex, and both performers will need intense concentration in order to coordinate perfectly.
