We have selected several recent musical compositions inspired by the Brontës:
1. In the latest album of the French singer
Jehanne Loz (Anne-Marie Hue), L'arbre bleu, it is included a piece named
The moon is full this winter night (Track 11) based on the poem by Emily Brontë
Honour's Martyr (21 November 1844) and adapted by the same Jehanne Loz.
More information on her
MySpace website.
2. We report the recent performance of the Brontë Song Cycle by
Cecilia McDowall in the
Plzen Song Festival in the Czech Republic:
Wednesday 8 October 2008
Sarah Poole, soprano
programme to include:
Cecilia McDowall: Brontë Song cycle, Retrospection, Poor Captive Dove, and Snow.
The poems are respectively by Charlotte (
From Retrospection, 1835), Anne (
The Captive Dove 1842-43) and Emily Brontë (maybe
To a Wreath of Snow, 1837). It was first performed in June 1995.
3. And finally, we have a youtube video of a couple of girls who call themselves
The Valiant Vixens performing their very own Wuthering Heights song.
