Work Overview
Lyrical-melodic setting of 6 poems by John Shaw Neilson.
Very much an ensemble work - the piano is not an accompaniment, but a full partner.
All poems reference colours.
The settings attempt to capture something of the colours & emotions portrayed by Neilson, who has an art gallery & art prize named after him.
