Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen 's Four Madrigals From The Natural World for 6-12 part mixed chorus. This piece incorporates texts by Les Murray. ' FOUR MADRIGALS to texts by the Australian poet Les Murray are composed of two songs (Bats' Ultrasound and The Octave of Elephants) written for the Australian vocal group THE SONG COMPANY, and two songs (Cattle Egret and Comete) from my larger work SOUND / SIGHT, written for the Danish Radio Chamber Choir, but here arranged for six voices. The texts are pictures and situations from - or meditations over - THE NATURAL WORLD. Les Murray's way of approaching this world is not in the least sentimentalor nostalgic: the poems reveal a truebeing-out-there realism: so basically the approach is realistic, but the creating of form elevates the material to an abstractplay, a daring and exuberant poetic language. These poems asked to be set to music. I gave up old idiosyncrasies regarding descriptive music, and surrendered to the madrigal, with its special so-called madrigalisms, which entails also animal-imitations. You will hear this particulary inThe Octave of Elephants. ' - Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen.

Well-known in his day as one of the most important contributors to East's Whole Book of Psalms (1592), Farmer was in the service of the Earl of Oxford who, more than any other nobleman, established the professional Elizabethan theatre. In the year that Burbidge opened the Globe Theatre, these 18 madrigals (the most famous is probably Fair Phyllis) gave the composer an attractive place in the history of English music.

The Three American Madrigals includes settings of Frost, Whitman and Teasdale. Frost??s poem Bond and Free is another slow lyrical setting with contrasting tonalities accentuating the two halves of the poem. Likewise, the setting of Whitman??s Tears explores various diatonic modes while also employing constantly changing meters, thus yielding a feeling of fluidity. A setting of Sara Teasdale??s I Love You closes the cycle. The four symmetrical stanzas of the poem are exaggerated with chromatic??almost barbershop-style??harmonies in close spacing.SATB Chorus, a cappella Duration: 15 ' Composed: 2014 Published by: Distributed Composer Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

Remembered chiefly for his virginal music, this always fresh and charming composer - who was probably an instrument maker by trade - may well have penned these pieces simply for the enjoyment of his London friends living in the wards of Bishopsgate and Cripplegate. His experience as a keyboard player may have led him to some chromatic vocal writing, particularly in the admirable Construe my meaning, rivalling strangenesses in the work of his Italian contemporary, Gesualdo. CONTENTS Among the daffadillies (SSAB) Ay me, poor heart (SATB) Blind Love was shooting (SSAB) Carters, now cast down (SAT (or A) B) Construe my meaning (SATB) Daphne on the rainbow (SSA (or T) T (or B)) Lady, the silly flea (SATB) Lady, when I behold your passions (SSA (or T) B) Love shooting among many (SSAB) Love shooting at another (SSA (or T) B) My Lady's coloured cheeks (SAT (or A) B) Pearce did dance with Petronella (SAT (or A) B) Pearce did love fair Petronella (SAAB) Phillida bewailed (SAT (or A) B) Simkin said that Sis was fair (SSAB (or T)) Some time she would (SATB) Susanna fair (SSTB) The curtain drawn (SATB) The wavering planet (SSAB (or T)) Thrice blessed be the giver (SSAB (or T)) Witness, ye heavens (SSS (or A) AAT (or B) BB).

The choice of 16th century texts, by Bronzino and Battiferri, reflects the interests of the dedicatee of these sonnets - Craig Hugh Smyth, a fine art historian and former director of the Villa I Tatti, who was a specialist in Bronzino and Pontormo. Bronzino's sonnet is a lament on the death of Pontormo, his teacher; Laura Battiferri's poem is a direct response to that of Bronzino. As I was also asked to set sonnets by Petrarca, I chose two of his closely linked sonnets, numbers 229 and 230 in the Rime Sparse. I had written a work for I Tatti some five years earlier setting Petrarca (??A qualunque animale?, the first in my Fourth Book of Madrigals) and was familiar with the context. However, through correspondence with Kathryn Bosi, Music Librarian at I Tatti and, through her, Craig Smyth's family, I became increasingly aware of his unusual and quite special character. From his undergraduate days at Princeton and indeed throughout his life, although a great scholar and writer, he was at the same time an aficionado of jazz, loving above all Louis Armstrong, being photographed with Duke Ellington, taking his children to see Thelonious Monk, listening to Ben Webster and playing the tenor saxophone himself. Indeed, he had told Kathryn Bosi that he had been proud to walk in procession at the funerals of black musicians in New Orleans. In some ways his life was almost an obverse mirror image of parts of my own - I was a professional jazz musician but found myself teaching art history for a time. As Fiorella Superbi of I Tatti has said: Craig was a maestro di vita. I raise a glass in his memory and dedicate these sonnets to him. Gavin Bryars.
