Goram And Vincent
Goram and Vincent (or Ghyston) are legendary giants in the folklore of the Bristol area, UK. The legend and its variants The legend of Goram and Vincent of Bristol belongs to the genus of myths which explain the origin of local geographical features by supernatural activity, and trade on existing place-names to do so. Such myths are often also the basis for other new names. The most widespread version of the legend relates that two local giants, Goram and Vincent – who, according to one version, were brothers – fancied the same woman, the beautiful Avona (whose name is that of the major local river, the River Avon, in Latin dress). She was open-minded about her suitors, and offered herself to whichever of them could drain the lake which supposedly once occupied the space between Bradford-on-Avon (Wiltshire) and Bristol. They chose different routes through the limestone hills for their drainage channels. Goram opted for a route through Henbury, and Vincent chose one on the sou ...

The libretto is by the composer, and consists of scenes from the life of the artist Vincent van Gogh, told in retrospect.Arni E. Vincent. In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera.'' Macmillan, London and New York, 1997. The opera ''Vincent'', the composer’s fourth full-length opera, was first performed at the Helsinki Opera House on 17 May 1990.
