Wind and Wood, for tenor and piano, is the third in my “cycle of cycles” setting word sonnets of Seymour Mayne. This project began with Hail, commissioned by Doreen Taylor-Claxton in 2003 and continued with On the Cusp (2014) for baritone and piano and Wind and Wood (2022), written for Yanik Gosselin.

Here is a link to the premiere performance by Yanik Gosselin and Stéphane Mayer at Mazzoleni Hall, Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto, on May 4, 2024.
