Frank Corcoran

Irish Composer

MY NIGHT-BIRDS ARE CRUEL

I brood. Try to bear. Attempt the birth of this, my new Corcoran composition for 13 strings.

Four first ( – why ” first ” ) violins, four second violins, only two stalwart violas, two celli and

one bass. Good, solve the first things, my little Corcoran ´s Row and its derivative

trellis-work. My polyphony. Great and tiny , slippery or noble intervals.

Stringy colours,,, chalemeux , toffee, ice-cream of yoghurt, nuts, Mushrooms of Paradiso.
