Product Description

COLOURS a song collection for mezzo-soprano & piano

Largely untrained, only basically educated and living most his life as a rural worker, Neilson became known as one of Australia's finest lyric poets, who wrote much about the natural world, and the beauty in it.  His poetry is peppered with references to colours particularly of the Australian landscape, notably green, yellow and orange.  There is an art gallery named for him and an art prize in his name requires competing artists to interpret his poems in paint.. His lyricism has appealed to many composers, and in this collection setting six of his poems, I have attempted to capture both his lyricism and his colourings. The songs are dedicated variously to the superb mezzo-sopranos, Alessandra Volpe and Deborah Humble.

The six song I have set for this Volume 1 are:
1.      Paint Me A Petticoat Green
2.      Roses Three
3.      To Dulcie in a White Dress
4.      You and Yellow Air
5.      The Orange Tree
6.      Song in the Yellow
