Folio (2023) for Chamber Choir Ireland. I composed this work specifically for Chamber Choir ireland (conducted by Paul Hillier) for the Louth Contemporary Music Festival. The text is made up of extracts from the envelope writings by Emily Dickinson, with permission from Harvard University Press. I chose lines that appealed to me, and in the end they made up a kind of poem, that seems to move from a state of despair and hopelessness to one of acceptance and even lightness. With gratitude to Eamonn Quinn, who commissioned this piece.
