About

A charming sequence of 6 songs for two voices and piano, each of the poems (by John Summers) is a personal observation of the human condition touched by humour and humanity and prompted by the intrusion of nature: birds, trees or cats. The music is ever playful with the two voices combining, dovetailing and interweaving like the two kittens of the third song, a small Cri de Coeur from which the cycle takes its title.
