About
Scattered among these highly emotional vocal and choral pieces are varied examples of McAuliffe’s other compositions, including touching art songs setting the verses of W B Yeats, Ireland’s greatest poet, plus engaging samples of her piano and chamber music and a sacred choral number.
Her affecting music is winningly performed by a variety of accomplished vocal, choral and instrumental artists, with most coming from the music department of West Virginia University. Most prominent among them are pianist (and album producer) Lucy Mauro and tenor Donald George: both widely acclaimed for their sterling performances in other Delos albums concentrating mostly on the work of women composers.
