Silver LiningsLibretto by Christine Parcells
Instrumentation: Soprano (Gb4 - Ab5), Piano
Duration: 4'35" 2021 Art Song PWYC Commission Consortium |
Silver Linings is a commission consortium that was spear-headed by Saskatoon soprano and piano duo Danielle Strong and Matthew Praksas. As a return to performing appears on the horizon, they wanted a piece of music that shared this spirit of hope in the midst of a global pandemic. They discovered the poetry of American poet Christine Parcells, and were immediately struck by the beauty of imagery and message of hope imbedded in her words.
