Roberton 62002
The fifth piece from a sequence entitled "The Painter's Eye", five original poems by well-known novelist Alexander McCall Smith (author of "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series and many other novels) set to music by Tom Cunningham. Each poem is inspired by a painting in one of the world's art galleries; this one being "An old man and his grandson" by Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494) which hangs in the Louvre in Paris. Originally scored for unaccompanied mixed voice choir, this version has been arranged by the composer for a choir of sopranos, altos and men, accompanied by piano.
