Selvedge (Tokyo Philharmonic Performance)

My first performance of Berio's Sequenza III for Female Voice, as part of the Frontiers Festival's Vocal Marathon Day on 25 March 2015. 

Many thanks to the Birmingham Conservatoire Frontiers Festival technical team for recording this.

Berio - Sequenza III for Female Voice - performed by Soul Zisso

Written in the winter of 2016-17 for the Birmingham Conservatoire recorder department, this piece is a setting of the first verse of 'Naamah' by Alice Seville.

Soprano: Yfat Soul Zisso

Recorders: Hayley Sherlock, Estelle Langthorne, Lee Tadd, Helen Herbert, Eleanor Tomlinson and Sophie Rheam.

nightly I dream of a green oasis
then wake to the sound of gulls
even they are astonished
by this naked genesis
the adamant waters below
another dream where from
a scaly sheath I step unfurling
jungle leaves as mere chiffon
my old skin covered in snake bites
