Work Overview
The Hours of the Day is a setting of Latin prayers for
the passing hours. It is scored for 4 female singers, 2 oboes and
2 clarinets. The voices and instruments are combined in various
ways: sometimes the four voices together contrasting with the 4
woodwind instruments; and sometimes one voice partnered with each
instrument.
The piece was written in 1969, and won an international prize
given by the Academy of the Arts, Berlin.
