Description

These four pieces, for SATB (chorus or soloists), are all texts by Oscar Wilde. In numbers. 1-3 the English composer Clive Strutt (b. 1942) is experimenting with unusual canonic forms; No. 4 is a straightforward composition not making any use of esoteric structural procedures. The work dates from 1968.     The frontispiece is an oil painting by Sit Edward Burne-Jones entitled The Princess Sabra in a Garden and was chosen to fit with the text of madrigal no. 4 Magdalen Walks.     The duration of the five pieces is c.14 minutes.
