Two Songs<\/h2>\n

for mezzo-soprano & piano on poems of Reg huston<\/h5>\n

T<\/span>hese<\/i> two short songs were commissioned by Susanne Mentzer<\/a> as part of a project entitled STANDING STILL : STILL STANDING THOUGHTS FROM A PANDEMIC ISOLATION, featuring works set to poems of Reg Huston<\/a>.

\"\"<\/a>

Susanne Mentzer and Reg Huston<\/p><\/div> \u201cIn the Wee Hours\u201d is a nocturnal piece. The piano has twinkling stars that glimmer quietly behind the voice. \u201cGlimpse through the Fog\u201d takes place in a misty haze. A voice struggles to break through the gloom briefly, but then recedes within enveloping waves.<\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
