'come, and I will sing you' at Whiddon Autumn Festival

What does folk song mean to you? Do they reflect a moment of time? A place? A connection with the world around us? Although folk song can connect with us on a deeper, personal plain, they are also artefacts of our connection as humans. The stories. The love. The loss. Working as sonic maps which tell of our shared experiences from across the world, and not just those on our doorstep.

come, and I will sing you are two songs for unison voices and piano, commissioned by Whiddon Autumn Festival, and take their inspiration from folk song from Devon which have found their way to Newfoundland in Canada over the centuries.

This work was written as part of a residency with Whiddon Autumn Festival, kindly supported by The Finzi Trust and the Vaughan Williams Foundation.
