WB Yeats Hazelwood Songs
![]() This website and its companion CD of the same name is my tribute to the lyrical poetry of WB Yeats to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth. I have taken a selection of these poems which I set to music and also recite.
From what I hear, Yeats was not keen on his poetry being put to music. You can listen to the songs and make up your own mind On this project, I worked with Ronan McCauley, (www.ronan.ie) who acted as my arranger, recording engineer, multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist. The poems were recorded by Gerry Horan of Contact Studio. The tracks were mastered by Antimo Puca of apstudios.net Tony Bardon |
