Looking West (2022)

A cantata for soprano, mezzo-soprano, actors & ensemble

Textdichter: Rebecca Hurst

Verlag: Peters Edition, Leipzig u.a.

Bemerkung: Julian Philips, 2023: A dramatic cantata, it interweaves three voices. The overarching story is of the Celtic Saint Bega, who escaped her father’s house with the help of a magic bracelet, travelled across the Irish Sea, and found sanctuary in Cumbria – an act of personal pilgrimage, a young woman forging life on her own terms. A second strand shifts to the 20th century, through the work of the Cumbrian artist Winifred Nicholson, who painted unforgettable pictures on St Bees Head. https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/69060/Looking-West--Julian-Philips/.
