Product details
This work was conceived and planned in the course of my residency with the Song Company in the second half of 1993, and written especially for the group's 10th anniversary concert. Ficta is a Latin word meaning "false" or "feigned", as in the medieval music theory term musica ficta, which refers to the sharpening or flattening in performance of the written notes in a piece, according to various rules (and the dictates of individual taste). In the context of this work the "falseness" referred to encompasses considerations of musical style and technique, as well as, appropriately, the art (or artifice) of singing itself.
