Duration 6:00 approx.
Text - Dora Sigerson Shorter (1866
- 1918)
Dora Sigerson (1866 1918) was an
Irish poet who, after her marriage in 1895, wrote under the name Dora Sigerson
Shorter. 'The Wind on the Hills' appeared in her collection 'Ballads and Poems'
published in 1899.
The narrator reads the text very
slowly and deliberately, beginning each stanza after the instrument grace
notes, which coincide with the score rehearsal letters. The 'X' noteheads in
the instrument parts indicate air sounds or, if played by viola, a 'white
noise' effect produced by bowing the instrument body.
Score shows recorders in bass clef up 8.
