Two Shakespeare Songs were written in 1989-1990. Cry, Cock-a-Doodle-Doo was written first, and is scored for Soprano Voice and Piano. It takes its text from a song by Ariel in The Tempest. The Witches' Song is for solo Soprano, with the text coming from Macbeth. Both are dramatic works which allow the performer to showcase her virtuosity; either would be a perfect audition piece or both could be combined as complementary items on a recital programme.
Alison Bauld (b. 1944) is an Australian-born composer and writer who lives and works in London. Her compositions are distinguished by their dramaticstructure, partly inspired by musical theatre. She has also written a three-volume tutor for keyboard and composition.

This is the latest ?? and 7th ?? in an a cappella series going back three decades in which the texts are taken from Shakespeare's plays. ??Come Unto These Yellow Sands? is a gentle invitation to the listener, at least until the animals take over. ??Thou Canst Not Hit It,? in this interpretation, is a song about trying to hit the high and low notes. Surrounded by comedy and tragedy, ??Honour, Riches, Marriage-Blessing? is the idyllic center of the set. ??O Sweet Oliver,? with its dueling boy and girl choirs, leads into ??Willow, Willow,? where the poem's word repetitions inspire the driving rhythm.
