Description:
Words: Wendy Cope.
The words of 'the homeless hammer' were inspired by the poet hearing Boulez's Le Marteau san Maître ('The Hammer without a Master”). Two Poems by Wendy was co-commissioned by The National Chamber Choir of Ireland and Cork International Choral Festival, and The National Chamber Choir premiered this work at the Festival on 30th April 2010, conducted by Paul Hillier.
'Ideal matter for pitch-secure singers who delight in the music of words...[Two Poems by Wendy] bears rich textural contrasts, spiky humour and a real sense of fun across its five-minute course...Panufnik brilliantly combines the spirit of a playground song with the tarnishing air of adult urban neuroses in 'Some Rules' to warn against answering emails 'when you're drunk'!'
