A DRUNKEN MAN'S PRAISE OF SOBRIETY
Instrumentation: violin and piano
Duration: 5 minutes
Composed: 2012
William Butler Yeats' raucous poem, A Drunken Man's Praise of Sobriety, ends a set of songs I wrote several years ago (always best to close with a drinking song), and I thought it would make a fun romp for violin and piano.
