About

A lecture-recital featuring a rare performance of Helen Hopekirk's "Five Songs on Poems of Fiona MacLeod," published in 1904. Helen Hopekirk was an accomplished Scottish concert pianist and composer who immigrated to the U.S. in 1897 to teach at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. A collection of her manuscripts is housed in the Library of Congress. The songs are settings of poetry by William Sharp, a Scottish poet who secretly published under the pseudonym Fiona MacLeod. Helen Hopekirk's career as a pianist and composer as well as Sharp's reasons for adopting a female pseudonym and his elaborate methods to keep it secret are addressed in the lecture.
