Swan started as a mistranslation of a recording of a madrigal, sent to me by artist Sarah Boulton who is based near the west coast of Scotland. I set Sarah’s words for choir (SSAATTBB) with cello. Swan was premiered by Fenham Ensemble and cellist Gabriel Waite in March 2023, in Newcastle, conducted by Simon Davies-Fidler.

Duration: 4:21

A recomposition of the piece, Swan II, for choir and string instruments was performed by Musarc choir and Standard Issue ensemble in April 2023, in London, conducted by Jack Sheen.
