Would Like To Meet

Would Like To Meet Synopsis

for SSA and piano Would Like To Meet is taken from a suite of three pieces by Cecilia McDowall called Lonely Hearts, composed in 2005. The whimsical text by Christie Dickason is a lonely hearts column written from the perspective of various animals and plants, and this imaginative theme is perfectly complemented by McDowall's spirited and fun setting. The mood is light and energetic, the piano part characterful, and the accessible and appealing vocal lines feature interspersions of scat writing. Lonely Hearts features on a 2007 CD dedicated to the composer's music recorded on the Dutton label.
