Exploring different facets of time this unique work utilizes a wide range of compositional devices including periods of carefully controlled aleatoric playing a dizzying effect of multiple ticking clocks and a variety of moods and time signatures. Densely layered harmonies are contrasted with lyric passages and soaring melodies and the overall effect of the piece is quite different and striking. Dur: c. 6:45 (MusicWorks)

Three Songs To Sonnets By Shakespeare-Ed Hughes' Against That Time - Three Songs...(+)
Three Songs To Sonnets By Shakespeare-Ed Hughes' Against That Time - Three Songs To Sonnets By Shakespeare for Mezzo Soprano Viola and Piano.'Against That Time...Against My Love is a song cycle comprising of three related settings of Shakespeare sonnets(numbers 49 63 and 126). The sonnets are drawn from a collection of 154 of William Shakespeare's poems on love beauty and mortality first published together in 1609.The three sonnets chosen for this sequence meditate particularly on the effect of time upon the appearance of the beloved.In setting these extraordinary lines I let their rhythms permeate the melodic writing for the singer. Theviola and piano act as a kind of echo chamber for the poet's very direct and intimate thoughts. The poems seem both timeless and modern in attitude and perceptions; the music's harmonies though often tonally clear are occasionally fractured and in tension like the many images in thesepoignant texts.' - Ed Hughes

When Karl King was conducting circus bands he would frequently edit his marches so the same composition could be used for contrasting acts (for example a ?lion? act one time and a ?trapeze? act the next). In the same spirit Thomas Leslie has creatively repurposed this familiar march to suit an imaginary ?clown? act; complete with novelty percussion sounds and a few surprises sprinkled in. A bit outrageous but definitely fun! Dur: c. 2:20

The word ‘tsunami’ is of Japanese origin. When you look it up in a dictionary you will find that it means ‘a great sea wave produced by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption’. A megatsunami is the superlative of this awesome expressionof power that nature can create and has catastrophic consequences. When Carl Wittrock completed this composition not many such big earth movements had occurred but since then we have become all too familiar with the disastrousconsequences which a tsunami may have. On the 26th of December 2004 a heavy seaquake took place near the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Tidal waves 10 meters in height ravaged the coastal regions of many countries for miles around. The tsunamitook the lives of thousands of people and destroyed many villages and towns. There are more areas which run the risk of being struck by a tsunami such as the island of La Palma one of the Canary Islands. This island is based on oceaniccrust at a fracture zone and as such is one of nature’s time bombs. The consequences of a natural calamity like a megatsunami are immense. In the case of La Palma the tidal wave will move in the direction of South America where it may reach 50km inland destroying everything on its way. In his composition Wittrock describes an ordinary day which will have an unexpected ending. Right from the beginning there seems to be something in the air the music creating an oppressiveatmosphere of impending disaster. Themes are interrupted broken off suddenly followed by silence suggesting the calm before the storm. Suddenly a short climax (glissandi in the trombone part) indicates the seaquake and the megatsunami isa fact. Hereafter follows a turbulent passage symbolising the huge rolling waves. After nature’s force has spent itself resignation sets in and the composition ends with a majestic ode to nature.
