Try Me, Good King

At the heart of this programme is the American composer Libby Larsen’s powerful Try Me, Good King, a cycle of five songs drawn from the final letters and gallows speeches of the first five wives of King Henry VIII. Women who have been either exalted or seen to have fallen from grace appear throughout this recital, which also features music by composers including Wolf, Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
