NOW COMES BEAUTY for solo voice and piano
Goodmusic GM055
"Now comes beauty" was originally composed in the Summer of 2009 as this song for solo voice and piano. Written at a time of great change in my life, it is essentially a song about reluctantly saying farewell to an idyllic, though sometime solitary life on the beautiful island of Mallorca, where I lived from 2004 to 2009 - the ending of a long relationship and the need to move on in a new direction. Death and re-birth if you like; painfully lost, but accepting and open at the same time. At the suggestion of my brother Gavin, I then made an arrangement for unaccompanied mixed voice choir (see GM052) and also an instrumental version for string orchestra (see GMCO090). Paul Carr
