Compositions

Scúdhainn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 250 works in total. Many of them were described as “conceptual” or “constrained composition” by her contemporaries. Terse counterpoint is also common. However, she also took a liking to folk-like themes.

(Many of her “high-level” tempo markings and staff directions are in her native Tíogall – while “low-level” ones such as dynamics markings remain in Netagin.)
