descripção
Filled with emotion and anger, this is a setting of a speech by Queen Margaret in Henry VI part three (act 5 scene 5) by William Shakespeare. After her son has been stabbed infront of her, Queen Margaret laments his death and curses the 'butchers and villains' that did it. Filled with some of the most beautiful language i have ever heard it seemed only right to set it for a female choir and give this lesser-known speech a new lease of life.
