'Berceuse was commissioned by the Birmingham Chamber Music Society for their Diamond Jubilee Season 2011/12 the first performance was given by John McCabe on 18th February 2012 at the Adrian Boult Hall Birmingham Conservatoire. It is dedicated to John and Mary Joubert. The piece derives from three sources: the idea of the classical/romantic Berceuse (though in this case not so much a lullaby for children as is sometimes the case) the notion of two alternating themes of equal importance and the style of piano writing in which the main part of the melody is heard in the left hand rather than being right-hand tune plus left-hand accompaniment. The two mainthemes are closely related in style and content and towards the end they are heard together simultaneously in simplified form quietly revealing the dual texture for which the piece has been striving.' John McCabe (2011)

John McCabe's Nocturnal For Piano Quintet was composed in 1966 commissioned by the Park Lane Group London and first performed by the Lancaster University Ensemble. Duration: Approximately 13 minutes. Composers Note: The title of this work is a reference to John Donne's poem A Nocturnal upon St Lucie's Day the mood of which is reflected in the quintet. It falls into several movements played without a break: Introduction (Andante) setting forth the main thematic ideas of the music; Nocturne 1 (Allegro vivo) an agitated virtuoso scherzo-like section; a tripartite central part of the work consisting of two Cadenzasframing a brief Interlude the first Cadenza being largely for strings the second mainly for piano and the Interlude harking back to the feeling of the Introduction; Nocturne 2 (Andante molto) a slow piece gradually building to a unison theme on strings accompanied by a tolling piano background. This dies down to lead to an Epilogue ending with a final reference to the work's opening bars.

This work was commissioned by the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts Ltd. with theaid of funds provided by the John S. Cohen Foundation and the PRS Foundation. The firstperformance was given by Rachel Nicholls and Paul Plummer at St. Andrewâs Church Presteigne on 29 August 2005.Composer's NoteGladestry Quatrains is a setting of 12 short poems by Jo Shapcott from her collection of the same title. It originated in a project for the 2003 Presteigne Festival called A Garland for Presteigne in which 10 composers associated with the Festival were asked to write a short song each celebrating the Welsh border country the choice of poetryranged widely and I chose two of Jo Shapcottâs evocative miniatures (still adding up to slightly less than the timing I had been requested to provide!). As I wrote them I started to make sketches for some more settings from the same collection and the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts very kindly commissioned this new larger song-cycle proper for their 2005 Festival. The original pair of poems form the third (Gwaithla Brook) and last (Cefn Hir) of the songs in which the eighth combines two poems Burl Hill and Newchurch. Throughout I have been aware of the sights and sounds of nature the character of the landscape and the sense of history and timelessness of this beautiful part of the world as reflected in Jo Shapcottâs poetry as well as (I hope) the wit and directness of her expression. The whole work though it has eleven songs still lasts only about 20 minutes the concision of the texts and the need to find musical equivalents to this was an important part of the concept of the piece.

Commissioned by the BBC for Ashley Wass one of Radio 3's New Generation Artists and first performed at a Proms Chamber Music Concert on 31st August 2009.'The series of concert pieces (ranging from 5 to 16 minutes) that I have called Studies started with the intention of exploring either pianistic or compositional topics but has since No 7 a homage to Dukas also reflected my love of the music of various composers. Tippett?s piano music some of which I have played many times has always fascinated me for its examination of an enormous range of keyboard sonorities and technique and for its lyrical poetry and the energy and dynamism so typical of its composer. Inthis study I have combined my tribute to him (during which I refer to two of his works) with an exploration of sonata form for many years I resisted the idea of writing a Piano Sonata (note the capital letters) thinking sonata form itself was not for me but I suddenly felt I could write a single-movement work thinking of the examples of Hoddinott Scriabin and Tippett himself which would impinge closely on sonata form. Thus the opening vigorous section recurs as a kind of recapitulation to close the work and between those two parts are a slow ?movement? and then a lightly scored scherzo. The actual ending itself vanishes into the distance in a little phrase which gets quicker and quieter until it is hardly heard.'????????????????John McCabe

Fantasy On A Theme Of Liszt was written in 1967 for a Cheltenham Festival concert. The theme which lies behind the work is the opening tune of Liszt's Faust Symphony though this is never heard in its original form but is rather used as a thematic reservoir from which the music is derived. It is dedicated to the American composer and conductor Bernard Herrmann. John McCabe (1939-2015) was a British composer pianist and music administrator. He studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the RNCM) and built a career as a virtuoso pianist. However he also wrote several hundred musical compositions ranging from large-scaleorchestral works to chamber music and solo instrumental pieces - it is said the only classical genre he did not write for was opera.

William Byrd's 'Haec

Novello & Co Ltd.
For Trumpet And Piano-This Sonata by John McCabe was commissioned by Simon Deb...(+)
For Trumpet And Piano-This Sonata by John McCabe was commissioned by Simon Debruslais and derives its underlying material from William Byrd’s motet 'Haec Dies' from his 1591 collection of Cantiones Sacrae. An outline of the motet is “hidden” within the texture of the music but never stated directly. The Sonata employs that beautiful instrument the Flugelhorn (beloved of Vaughan Williams and Miles Davis) for the first two main sections switching to D Trumpet (familiar from Baroque music) for the final part which is faster than the earlier ones. The first section is moderately-paced and obsessively circles around particular intervals notably parallel ornear-parallel fifths (possibly my revenge on the academic world). The middle part of the work is slow framed by very brief scherzando trio-like sections. The piece lasts about 17 minutes.

Floraison is a terrific 1975 composition by John McCabe from The Goddess Triloigy for Horn in F and Piano accompaniment. Floraison translates as 'flowering' or 'blossoming' and this piece depicts the flower maiden and love goddess Blodeuwedd ('bloom maiden') who is also an owl goddess. She was made up of nine kinds of flowers and in one pagan ritual her husband was sacrificed ascending after death into the skies in the form of an eagle. This composition is cast in the form of a passacaglia in which there are nine variations but perhaps more important than this is the initial image behind the piece which was that of a flower graduallyopening and then closing. This image governs the shape of the music with its increasingly elaborate and intense growth towards its climax and then a return at the close to the opening ideas.

This 1963 setting of three well-known folksongs honours the melody line in the Soprano while adding brilliant texture and accompaniment in the clarinet and Piano. In Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier McCabe moves his harmonies away from the certainty of the minor tune for an intriguing dislocation that reflects the loss in the lyrics. In the lullabye Hush-A-Ba Birdie Croon Croon the clarinet provides a rippling undertone to the singer while DâYe Ken John Peel carries as much musical acknowledgement of the âdeath in the morningâ as it does the romping âhounds and Hornâ.Contemporary British musician John McCabe has been a prolific composer since his earliest years and an activepianist recording extensively and performing across the globe. His compositions tend toward large scale works there are seven symphonies so far but he has composed for every size and type of ensemble. He is particularly well known for his concerti.
