And He'll Be Mine

English

Synopsis

A cycle of seven songs for tenor and piano on poetry by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. The cycle explores love in its various aspects: secret love, the loss of love, fleeting love, and life-long love. The composer has "inverted the sexual intention of the texts," which is a queer approach to the material.
