A quiet urgency flows through this stunning offering for Holy Week. Jesus’s statements from the cross are framed by plainspoken commentary that is insightful and direct. The organ mostly plays the vocal parts, but don’t sing this a cappella. What the organ adds and the moments when it doesn’t play make all the difference. The final Refrain unexpectedly blossoms into a triumphant statement of the core meaning of our Lord’s sacrifice.

Sepp o Pohjola (b. 1965) composed his fifth string quartet, lasting about 20 minutes, in February-March 2018. He was inspired to write it by a visit to the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam the previous year, where he was greatly impressed by the vast, comprehensive retrospective and especially the horrifyingly honest self-portraits. The soft opening tones bear an instruction alluding to Schonberg's Verklarte Nacht string sextet: the quiet music must be richly shaded. The notes in the canon-like part writing almost always change at different moments in each instrument, with a longer or shorter delay. The independent lines weave tightly together. The only dynamic is forte for minutes on end in the powerful closing section. Duration c. 20 minutes. Score (A4) and parts (B4).

Peaceful scenes of quiet, gentle snow are reflected in this nostalgic melody for intermediate strings. A flowing legato theme evokes warm memories of innocence and joy as it moves between the sections, allowing all players a chance to practice playing with sustained bows and beautiful tone. Moments of modulation use easy accidentals in first position to relay the mystery and magic of the season. Piano and bells add to the dream-like quality of this serene concert selection and are highly recommended. This is the quintessential sound for any winter concert.

For violin and piano This is a reworking of material from Berkeley's 1979 Violin Sonata, and is an evocative and atmospheric single movement. Veilleuse means 'Night Watch' or 'Night Lantern', and the music has a slightly melancholy, restless atmosphere, which momentarily erupts in a passionate outburst before settling back to the quietly ticking, veiled lines of the opening.
