about

All proceeds from this track will go to Women's Aid Ireland: www.womensaid.ie

'The Scolds' was inspired by an article I read on the policing of women’s speech in medieval England. A 'scold' was a derogatory term, aimed particularly at women who caused trouble, disturbed the peace, or simply committed the crime of having an opinion. In common law in England and Wales, a 'common scold' was seen as a public nuisance. As punishment, scolds were muzzled with what was called a Scold’s Bridle. The bridle was used to hold their tongue, as a form of torture, and as public humiliation.

In 'The Scolds', I imagined the mouthpiece of the flute as a Scold’s Bridle. The musical material is initially obscured and stunted with attempts to spit it out. As the piece unfolds, the idea of this bridle is not powerful enough to curb what needs to be said.

Thank you to the brilliant Lina Andonovska for capturing the message behind this piece.
