Judith Weir - Unlocked for 'cello (1999)
"UNLOCKED arises out of my interest in the magnificent collection of American folksongs in the Library of Congress, Washington, collected by John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s. A significant proportion of the songs were collected from prisoners - mostly black prisoners in Southern jails. The piece is made up of five 'cello 'fantasias' inspired by five of these songs.
(Make Me A Garment) was sung by a prisoner in Florida who was found by the Lomaxes in the tuberculosis ward and could only whisper his song."
