Product details

Edge Sky Self (2020) for speaker, flute, clarinet in Bb, violin, marimba and double bass, is a setting of the poem 'Edge Sky Self' by the late Candy Royalle, a poet, spoken word performance artist from Sydney. The piece was written as a commission and presented by an ensemble as part of Melbourne's Homophonic! concerts in the Midsumma Festival 2020, celebrating new music by queer composers. Kind permission from the Estate of Candy Royalle and University of Western Australia Publishing to set Royalle's poem is acknowledged. The piece explores the spoken word mode of text setting. I was fotunate to connect with Candy Royalle while on residency at Bundanon Arts Trust in 2012, and Edge Sky Self read in her 'A Trillion Tiny Awakenings' (UWA Publishing, 2018).
