Abstract

AbstractThis article examines the music of composer Ann Cleare, focusing on representative works that display her use of microtonality, unconventional scoring, multimedia and extended techniques. It also discusses Cleare's connection to Irish language and poetry, environmentalism and visual art. Several chamber pieces are analysed. The article concludes with discussion of large-scale compositions, including the eyam cycle about the 1665 plague village in Derbyshire, England, and the forthcoming Brexit opera The Little Lives.
