EARTH is a programme for soprano and ensemble based on natural forces, with moving melodies sung by the Wind, the Night, the Moon, the Snow and the Mountain (inspired by French medieval song and Strauss) from David Bruce. The concert also features a new piece from Marcus Barcham-Stevens inspired by Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" which celebrates its centenary this year.
“You ask what my soul does away in the sky,
I inwardly smile but I cannot reply;
Like the peach-blossom carried away by the stream,
I soar to a world of which you cannot dream.”
