Description
Setting of my translation of Paul Maerten's poem Brisure - in which the poet is disillusioned by the Christmas story. The music quotes - in a somewhat sardonic way, the old French carol "Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris".
The sound sample is a performance by the composer (alto and guitar).
The zip file also contains an alternative instrumental version for clarinet and guitar.
