Description
This song cycle was written for soprano Ruby Hughes, who premiered the role of Ella in Huw Watkins’ chamber opera In the Locked Room based on a Thomas Hardy short story.
Remember takes up some of the themes of the opera, which explores the darker depths of human emotion – unhappiness, yearning, and obsession. In the four poems set here, loss and longing are realised through achingly beautiful lyricism and the delicate balance between voice and string orchestra.
