Songs Through a Stained Glass Window a musical Journey.

Songs Through a Stained Glass Window is a contemporary song‑cycle responding to the colour, symbolism, and emotional depth of Harry Clarke’s illustrations of Hans Christian Andersen Fairytales. Each performance creates a dialogue between music and light and the performance space.

This project has been a journey that combined my passion for Music and Harry Clarkes creativity into a piece of work of which I am extremely proud and enjoying taking it to the audiences who appreciate the merging of the years and the works.

I began writing this work during the Pandemic during which time I had the misfortune to loose both my parents and my sister . In 2008 we had all been to an exhibition of Harry Clarke's Illustrations of Hans Christian Andersen Fairytales and I bought the book of illustrations. At an online songwriting workshop we were challenged to write a song based on a picture, and while writing with another songwriter Caroline Ferrara in Switzerland we opted to write The SnowQueen after I had shown her the image from the book. It followed that I realised I could write songs about all of the images and so Song's Through a Stained-Glass Window was born.
