Sheet Music: ScoreThe Duck : for mixed voices / Ruth McCall.by Ruth McCall (2015)
|
Product details
This suite of miniature songs was commissioned in 2015 by The Song Company for inclusion in their "Leunig Almanac" concert series; a concert involving 12 composers and 12 new works representing a different month of the year and a different aspect of Michael Leunig's work.
I chose to focus on the image of the duck in this miniature song cycle. Leunig's duck is an important character in his cartoons. I asked Leunig if I could use his idea for this project, and he asked the duck for me, and the duck agreed we could go ahead, so that just goes to show. Not knowing exactly what goes on inside of a duck's brain, but not wanting to miss anything out, I divided the songs into 7 small vignettes. Apart from the first movement, the piece is a vocalise.
