Judith Weir

Judith Weir's a blue true dream of sky engages the singers in three separate parts ? solo Soprano unaccompanied Chorus and the pivotal pair of Alto soloists who act as a hinge to the others? to create an intricate yet clear setting for this ecstatic poem by e. e. cummings. Judith Weir is one of Britain?s most prolific and successful composers widely known for her operas like TheVanishing Bridgegroom and A Night At The Chinese Opera and her many Choral works as well as her pieces for Strings and Piano. She was Artistic Director of the Spitalfields Festival and is a professor at Cardiff University.
