Three Songs
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The New Zealand-born composer Lyell Cresswell, now resident in Edinburgh, has become established as an original and vital force in Scottish musical life, yet his music, always bold and individual, retains a strong identification with his heritage. His solo-voice piece ‘Prayer for the Cure of a Sprained Back’ sets a Maori prayer, and the type of vocalizing required is far from Western traditions. His stature as a composer of power and integrity is now receiving the recognition it deserves, and his development over the years has been most impressive.
