Głowicka: Seven Sonnets

Summers Day (1999)

1. My eye hath played the painter
2. Oh, never say that I was false of heart
3. My love is strenghtened

Spring's Day (2009)

4. When my love swears
5. Love is too young
6. Sweet love
7. All naked

Composed for quartet and countertenor, with Glowicka’s trademark technological infusion, the 50-minute song cycle unfolds an evocative journey. Nearly 400 years after the sonnets’ creation, the young composer adapted 3 of the poems into Summer’s Day in 1999. She then expanded the set with 4 more selections a decade later. The experience is yours to relish now, with the full effort compiled in this album – 4 centuries in the making.
