The magnificent vocal ensemble ‘Luminescence’, based in Canberra (Australia), performs ‘The Ballad of Mabel Clare’, a new six-part vocal work by Frank set to a text by Henry Lawson—a 19th-century Australian poet who actually gave a woman a firm voice in her dealings with men.
The work lasts approximately 10 minutes.
A.J. America is the artistic director, while Roland Peelman (formerly head of The Song Company) serves as conductor and artistic mentor to the singers.
