Programme Note

Pestilence Songs er komponeret i 1974 til sopranen Grith Fjeldmose til tekst af den engelske renæssancedigter Thomas Nash A Lament in Time of Pestilence, et klagedigt om den sorte døds hærgen i London.

Pestilence Songs er et pasticheværk, et melodrama, der kombinerer renæssance- såvel som kabaretmusik.
