Fernhill is a setting of Dylan Thomas's poem of the same name.
The poem tells of a happy childhood "among the trees and leaves".
The music is a dialogue between the piano and the singer. The piano
part is both accompaniment and also solo (requiring virtuoso
playing). After an immediate statement of a theme tune, a dramatic
middle section leads to a "big tune", which expands to a
recapitulation of the theme tune, finishing in a lengthy fade.
Compass is C4 to A5 and it is about 11 mins. in duration. |
