原文

Fiona MacLeod was a creation or perhaps alter ego of the Scottish poet William Sharp. 1855–1905. Some consider her his inner feminine consciousness. he himself described her as “an ancestral seeress” who came through to him. In any case, he went to tremendous lengths to conceal the connection between her and himself and there was quite a scandal when the truth came out that he was author of both his and her works. But the strange thing is that Fiona’s writings, steeped as they are in a twilight Celtic world, are so much more atmospheric and vivid, and in truth, better, than William’s. It is as though he really was possessed by a more inspired soul. The three settings are. The Wind — about 2'4". All parts split except the tenors. Honeymouth — about 4'42". Full SSAATTBB throughout. The Moonchild — about 2'1". This is scored for a female solo. a Mezzo will probably have the right sort of tone colour. and STB divisi choir, with odd solo bits for soprano and tenor. This is a bit tough on the altos. One of them could do the solo part. the rest could be temporary sopranos or tenors perhaps. The settings are intended to be performed as a set, but Honeymouth and The Moonchild can be performed separately. The Wind wouldn’t really stand alone. The complete set was first performed in 1973, I think it was, by the Westron Wynd in the Orangery, Goldney House, Bristol, England, conducted by Nigel Davidson. The Moonchild has been performed in various guises, such as a solo song with piano and a recorder consort plus psaltery. Please feel free to arrange it for whatever assortments you like, but try to retain the atmospheric quality.

菲奥娜·麦克劳德是一个创造或者改变自我的苏格兰诗人威廉·夏普. 1855–1905. 有些人认为她自己内心的女性意识. 他自己形容她是“祖先女预言家”谁进来过他. 在任何情况下，他去了巨大的长度来掩饰她和他本人之间的连接，并有相当的丑闻，当真相出来了，他既是他和她的作品的作者. 但奇怪的是，菲奥娜的著作，浸淫因为他们是在一个黄昏凯尔特人的世界，是这么多的大气，生动，和真理，更好，比威廉. 这是因为虽然他真的拥有一个更加激发的灵魂. 这三个设置. 风 - 约2'4. 所有部件拆分除了男高音. Honeymouth - 约4'42. 整个全SSAATTBB. 该Moonchild - 约2'1. 这是拿下了女声独唱. 一个女中音将可能有正确的排序音色. 和STB divisi合唱团，奇数位独唱女高音和男高音. 这是在图斯有点困难. 其中一人可以做的独奏部分. 剩下的可能是暂时的女高音或男高音也许. 设置旨在被作为一组进行的，但Honeymouth和该Moonchild可单独进行. 风会不会真的独立. 最早是在1973年进行的一套完整的，我认为这是由Westron Wynd在橘园，Goldney府，英国布里斯托尔，由奈杰尔·戴维森进行. 该Moonchild已经在各种名目被执行，如独唱歌曲与钢琴和一个录音机驸马加瑟. 请随时为您安排喜欢什么花色品种，但要尽量保持空气质量.
