'From the Beginning of the World was commissioned by the Cardinall’s Musick and premiered at Cadogan Hall on the 20th July 2015 in the first of the 2015 BBC Proms Chamber Music Concerts. The concert launched The Tallis Edition a new project by the ensemble with an aim to throw new light on Tallis’s work and part of the commission brief was that my new piece should be a homage to this great English polyphonist. I spent several weeks in libraries attempting to find a suitable text eventually settling on excerpts from Tycho Brahe’s German Treatise on the Great Comet of 1577. Whether Tallis knew about the comet is unknown of course but this seismic event to me seemed emblematic of all the great changes that occurred during his lifetime in areas such as religion the calendar and time-keeping (finding out that Tallis lived out his last days in Greenwich was an extra bonus). The text also seems to speak to contemporary times: whilst Brahe may have thought the comet’s birth would cause the sun to ‘bring unnatural heat’ nowadays we know that its ‘venom [will be] spewed over the lands’ due to mankind’s continued pillaging of the earth’s natural resources. Yet our political ‘pseudo prophets’ prefer to distract us with an austerity delusion rather than confront a reality perpetuated by certain corporations for whom ‘seek[ing] their own honour’ is of primary value. The music itself is very influenced by Tallis and canons and imitation abound. During my time as a ‘cellist at the Yehudi Menuhin School I performed Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis many times and so From the Beginning of the World which also uses Tallis’s Third Mode Melody from the English Hymnal is really a homage to both composers.' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad.

Mack Wilberg's Light Dawns On A Weary World for SATB choir and Piano four-hands or Orchestra. This short energetic piece sets words by contemporary hymn-writer Mary Louise Bringle. The text is full of positivity and hope and Wilberg's use of a 7/8 time signature keeps the verses propelling forward joyously while undulating quavers shape the refrains. Several key changes are supported by a continuously rhythmic accompaniment in the form of Piano duet or large Orchestra and an instrumental interlude precedes the third and final verse.

With words by 'The Laureate of the Nursery,' this exciting concert piece offers an optimistic view of one's place in the world. A gentle lilt and a constant eighth note make the meter changes seamless, and optional cue-sized notes easily turn this 2-part choral into an SSA arrangement. / 2 Parties Mixtes
