Description
Dacw 'Nghariad (there is my love) is a beautful Welsh folk song that I discovered whilst working on a cantata for the Aldeburgh Festival based on the Welsh myth of Lyn y Fan Fach. The song is about longing; longing for something that is unreachable and distant, for the moment at least. Described as 'boldly imaginative' [The Times] and 'a talent to watch' [New York Times], Gavin Higgins is one of the most exciting and gifted compositional talents of his generation. Higgins was born in Gloucestershire (1983) and studied french horn and composition at Chetham's School of Music, The Royal Northern College of Music, and the Royal College of Music.
