Melodic ornamentation in singing, requiring an agile lyric voice which can produce elaborate vocal runs and trills, to accentuate the emotion of a line. This collection of writing from Nelson’s ‘Second Tuesday’ Writing Group combines two themes: ‘music’ and ‘colour,’ to capture and re-play local experiences. Partly about the ‘then’ of memory, partly the ‘now’ of contemporary living, it riffs on who we are and what we do – and often don’t – know of our/selves. (Short stories/Poems)
