Beskrivning

These two settings of Petrarch sonnets were written for the English group Juice, a trio of sopranos - a combination that has a purity and serenity that I enjoy. At the same time it gave me an opportunity to write more settings from Petrarch's 'Rime Sparse', which has been an abiding passion ever since I wrote my Second Book of Madrigals in 2001-2002.The purpose of the 'Rime Sparse' is to immortalize the real or imagined Laura, and these two settings, while not naming Laura directly, are imbued with the same feeling of profound and idealized love.
