I made this setting for SATB and glockenspiel to celebrate Betty McKellar’s 90th birthday.
I first discovered her work in the nineties, and set her poem Cramasie Threid for soprano and cello. I then took the poem Sangsters as the starting point for a concerto for orchestra which was premiered by the Swedish Chamber Orchestra in 2002.
This short piece is a tribute to Betty’s creativity, warmth and optimism.
