Abstract
Brian Boydell (1917-2000) Mosaics & Sketches: Chamber Music for Harp
Mosaics and Sketches explores the Irish composer Brian Boydell’s chamber music for harp written over two decades, 1960-1980. In this recording, Cliona Doris performs Boydell’s solo work for pedal harp, A Pack of Fancies for a Travelling Harper and is joined by TU Dublin Conservatoire colleagues in three chamber works: Four Sketches for Two Irish Harps, Five Mosaics for Violin and Harp, and Quintet for Flute, Harp and String Trio.
The recording was funded through a research grant from Technological University Dublin.
The support of RTÉ lyric fm and the Contemporary Music Centre for this recording is gratefully acknowledged.
