Premiere

“Slept Unwell” is a deconstruction of an obscure Newfoundland folksong, "The Maiden's Lament" as collected by Sir Ernest Macmillan. As a Newfoundlander, it intrigued me that I had never heard this “familiar” tune – how might it be made even more unfamiliar? How does a 21st-centruy eye interpret the text? To me, the image of dying surrounded by birds as death bells is evocative, but far less pleasant than the melodic material of the original song would suggest. In a way, because the song is more less "dead" in the region where it was collected, the material of "Slept Unwell" is most like the dissection of a musical corpse.
