The Mermaid's Tale. A Song Cycle written for voice, piano and flute. Four beautiful songs set in a stunningly illustrated art book. Tales of love, loss, lament and life set across a calendar year from Summer 2020 to Spring 2021. The book is designed as a set of poems, a set of scores for voice, piano and flute and an art book. The 48 page book comes with a set of mp3s of all four songs as a full performance and a set of backing tracks for those wishing to learn the songs with ready made piano and flute accompaniment. The book and music are designed for listeners as well as performers and players. Singers, Pianists and Flautists can learn the music from the notated scores. The story of the mermaid was inspired by the songwriter's love of the sea. The Mermaid's tale is a folk story of how love changes us. How the human heart can be both inspired by hope, yet forlorn by grief. Each new season brings new life and perspective. This book was written during the global pandemic of 2020-2021.
