Commissioned by Roderick Williams, this characterful trilogy of
songs sets poems by John Greening that present a vibrant, modern
take on Schubert's song cycles. The first draws on 'Gute nacht'
from Der Winterreise, taking inspiration from Captain Scott's
perilous expedition to the Antarctic in 1911-12. The second, 'After
Standchen', has an air of darkness and mystery, with icy clusters
and ghostly spread chords. The text of the third song alludes to
Schubert's 'Mein' from Die schoene Mullerin, and the musical
setting is characterized by rapid semiquaver figuration in the
piano and a vocal line full of dramatic expression.
