THROUGH HIS GAZE: three songs for tenor and harp (2020)

Through His Gaze is a deconstruction of three poems by W. B. Yeats, exploring the speaker's simultaneous adoration and resentment of women. 

​

The set was commissioned by the 2020 Presteigne Festival, supported by the Musicians Company and performed by Bradley Smith and Oliver Wass at Presteigne Digital. 

​

"Through repetition and emphasis, the songs cast a revealing light on the texts’ male

perspective, repeated phrase patterns emphasising their obsessive character."
