Product details

Louriana Lourilee is a gothic epic ballad for soprano and piano. Drawing from the Victorian spiritualist practice of communing with the dead, the poem places us into a ghostly world of garden paths, china roses, and swinging boughs, all of which appear to us like lifeless tableaux of Victorian bourgeois life - a life that would be shattered by the onset of WWI. The moto perpetuo of the dazzling piano reminds us of the excessive ornamentation of this era, like intricate lace work it covers a darker truth - that of loneliness, nostalgia, and a fading past, as the protagonist contemplates the depth of his grief and his state of endless isolation.
