SKU: BT.MUSCH67419

Composed by Judith Weir. Classical. Book Only. Composed 2003. 26 pages. Chester Music #MUSCH67419. Published by Chester Music (BT.MUSCH67419).

All the songs in The Voice of Desire are conversations between humans and birds. In each case, the birds seem to have a more sophisticated viewpoint that their human hearers.

One of the highlights is WrittenOnTerrestrial Things, set in a dead landscape at the dead of winter. Suddenly a joyus thrush melody breaks out, it's ecstatic expression is completely at odds with human perceptions of such a dismal evening, has naturesomethingto remind us, if only we'd listen.

The song cycle was commissioned by the BBC for Alice Coote, and first performed by her and Julius Drake (piano) in a BBC Proms Chamber Music concert in London on 11 August 2003.
