Tanzer Lieder (2004)

soprano, flute, cello, and piano

• 1. Sur une étoile
• 2. Stimmen
• 3. Dezember
• 4. Wishing well
• 5. Last song

Written by the Austrian poet Fransisco Tanzer, this text is taken from the collection entitled Blätter. I chose this text for its poetic richness and intimate atmosphere, artistic qualities I felt a need for after completing my first opera. The work was commissioned by Trio Phoenix and Ingrid Smithüsen with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
