The Country of Larks by Julian Philips is a miniature cantata for Tenor, Horn and Piano that investigates an epiphanous moment of connection with nature. The text was extracted and reassembled from Robert Louis Stevenson's An Autumn Effect, an 1875 essay that describes an autumnal hike through the Chilterns, philosophical, comical and poignant by turns. Stevenson's narrative framework is filleted into a short sequence of short recitative and arioso sections, culminating in an extended musical response to his fascination for the larks. The Country of Larks was commissioned by the 2021 Oxford Lieder Festival, on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary and was premiered at the 2022 edition of the festival on 25 October 2022 by Stuart Jackson (Tenor), Jocelyn Freeman (Piano) and George Strivens (Horn). This edition is published as part of the Peters Contemporary Chamber Series.

“Alpha is a piece for Horn and Piano accompaniment by Jean-Michel Defaye dedicated to Georges Barboteu, a professor at the National Conservatoire. Starting slowly with an exchange between the Horn and the Piano, this piece features a Cadenza section with a Horn solo followed by ?a Tempo? part (112). The final of the piece is to be played ?Lento? (60). This piece has some really strong and expressive moments, quite dramatic from time to time, and was initially written for a Conservatoire contest. It lasts approximately 8 minutes 40. As a pianist, composer, producer and arranger, Jean-Michel Defaye mainly created pieces for brass and wind instruments. He won the Premier Second Grand Prix de Rome in 1958 and the Belgian Queen Elizabeth composition competition in 1959.â€.
