BTC689 I SAW THREE WITCHES

For soprano, alto and piano
Composition date: 5 Nov 1930
Genre: Vocal
Text: Walter de la Mare (1873-1956)

Notes

Probably performed at a musical evening on 3 January 1930, in the same programme as Song (Jul 1930). There is no mention of 'I saw three witches' being performed in Britten's diaries but some of the holograph vocal parts are on the same page as those for 'Song'.
