Ina Boyle’s “No Coward Soul Is Mine“ has not seen much attention in the concert hall following its premiere in 1960, performed by mezzo-soprano Janet Baker. David Byers recent work, creating a new edition for String Quartet and Voice, seeks to re-establish the song’s importance in Ina’s catalogue and highlight its beauty.
The Ina Boyle Society has announced that a selection of the twentieth-century Irish composer Ina Boyle’s song for voice and piano will be recorded this autumn at the Wigmore Hall. The songs were originally meant to be recorded as part of a live concert at the Wigmore Hall on 29 October, but due to the pandemic it will be a recording instead.
