Mary Wiegold's Songbook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Wiegold’s Songbook is a collection of songs for soprano[1] and, usually, an ensemble of two clarinets, viola, cello and double bass which were written at the invitation of the soprano Mary Wiegold and the composer John Woolrich. Around two hundred songs were collected, mostly written within a ten year period from the late 1980s.[2]
The Songbook is ‘like a modern day codex- should nothing survive from the previous decade of British music save this, scholars would be able to form a reliable picture of the diverse compositional activity of those years.’ (Tempo)
