As part of Elaine’s Composer-in-Association project at the Cross Border
Centre in 2005, she worked with a number of adult and children’s groups and
schools in that area and with their help she created an original piece of music
for the Cross Border Centre Music from the
Mouth.
Music from the Mouth alternates three songs with sections
featuring the 2 percussion groups and are linked together with instrumental
interludes and narration. The text came from the many groups that were
involved in the 6 month project. |
