“Ina Boyle: an Irish Woman Composer’s Unrecognized Contribution to the Canon of Art Song [1889-1967]”
Soprano and Doctorate of Musical Arts candidate, Annie Barr McAllister, will be performing a programme of Ina Boyle’s songs, as part of the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music Student Artist Series on Friday April 23, 2021, 6.30pm.
PROGRAMME
Sleep Song
Moon, Reeds, Rushes from “Three Songs of Walter de la Mare”
Three Ancient Irish Poems (I. Eve’s Lament, II. Lament for Youth, III. Winter Song)
“Annie found the inspiration for her Fulbright project during her doctorate, researching new music for a recital. In Ireland, Annie will be researching and performing the music of the unknown Irishwoman composer, Ina Boyle (1889-1967). Annie’s project has two aspirations: typesetting Ina Boyle’s song manuscripts for voice and piano into an edited collection and performing monthly recitals throughout her residency. Annie’s recitals will include premieres of the songs for voice and piano by Ina Boyle that she typesets each month, as well as compositions by American composers, both current and from eras past. It will be a culmination of our two countries’ identities—a unifying performance of song. ”
