MeadowSweet by Eric GENTET 16 & Marc GENTET 11 (piano)

Concert at Renaissance Village, Redland bay, Queensland, Australia. 12 August 2022. Organized by Peter Crane (Thank you so much to him). 'Meadowsweet' by Brahe, May H. and Taylor, is from the song-cycle for four voices "A pageant of summer". It was the eternal favourite of the South African Boy Soprano Graham Payn who broadcast it on the BBC in the 1930's. It requires great control of breathing and a sweetness and lightness of tone produced by the old boys sopranos taught in the 'head tone'.
