At the Hawk’s Well

April 20, 2021

Chamber opera in one act, after the play by W. B. Yeats. Four singing roles:

  • First Musician, mezzo-soprano
  • Second Musician, soprano
  • Old Man, baritone
  • Young Man, tenor

There’s also a non-singing part for a dancer, playing the hawk-spirit that guards the well.

Vocal score (PDF). I expect to arrange this for whatever small forces are available.

The only bit that’s been recorded is an aria, “I came like you”, with Caleb Lewis, baritone.
