Musical Drama
Scored for narrator, mezzo-soprano, piano and strings, The Mermaid was adapted in 2005 from one of Lydia’s early compositions. Inspired by mythology and the concept of a narrator in a musical work, this musical drama consists of 3 scenes. The story – written by Lydia – is about a mermaid, who sings exquisitely and is much loved by a number of sea creatures, who rescue her from pirates.
