Par CATTLEY SARAH. Written for baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Susie Allan to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams, the five Frances Cornford settings of A Square and Candle-Lighted Boat further enhance Sarah Cattley’s reputation as an exciting young composer acutely sensitive to the nuances of English poetry. In addition to familiar sources ranging from ‘anon’ to George Mackay Brown, she has found inspiration in the work of women writers including Charlotte Brontë, Fredegond Shove, Moyra Tourlamain and Ursula Vaughan Williams. The finely tuned voice of Cambridge poet Frances Cornford (1886–1960) appealed especially for the touching immediacy of its insights, its probing of emotions from a woman’s viewpoint, and its wide human sympathy. In creative antithesis to the Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel, for which it is intended as a companion piece, a love of home is the theme of the cycle, its domestic interiors and country views illuminated in the warm tones and vivid portrayals of Cattley’s music. Performances at Thaxted and Paxton preceded a London premiere on 12 October 2022, marking the occasion of Vaughan Williams’s birth 150 years ago to the day. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Baryton et Piano

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Boldly reimagined and completed by Martin Yates, The Future, a substantial non finito draft of a major choral setting of words by Matthew Arnold, dates from 1908, immediately after Toward the Unknown Region, and in the crucial year of Vaughan Williams’s three-month tutelage with Ravel in Paris. Urgent ecological concerns – strikingly relevant today no less than in the Victorian period of unprecedented industrial expansion – propel the broad sweep of Arnold’s prescient account of mankind’s past and its uncertain hereafter. The prophetic tone draws on similar images of river, estuary and ocean that inspired the finale of A London Symphony. The Future is around 35 minutes’ duration, for solo soprano, chorus and orchestra, and it will without question be seen as an essential link in the evolution of VW’s embracing universal vision of humanity, expressed uniquely for all time in A Sea Symphony. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soprano, SATB et Orchestre

The outcome of a fruitful collaboration of theologians writers and musicians working at the retreat and therapeutic centre of Holy Rood House in Yorkshire this new collection articulates the needs of a contemporary ministry of healing through the agency of hymns the church’s most resonant and expressive form of worship.Acknowledging the impact of medical science in vastly expanding the range of the possible in every aspect of our living and dying eighty-three texts tackle a rich diversity of themes: infant death illness and suffering ageing and dementia the genome mortality and bereavement grief and lament pain and despair including pain and despair from thefailure of healing but also wisdom and resilience healing as part of a spiritual holism of mind and body and as a metaphor for social and political justice and care for the environment. The wealth of music includes new tunes and familiar ones and the anthology concludes with a section of twelve short or repetitive texts to be used in conjunction with prayer.Hymns of Hope and Healing is the product of many voices from those of widely experienced authors to others taking their promising early steps in the form. It will provide a vehicle for worship and reflection for those involved in chaplaincy in therapies and counselling and all in the wider church with an interest in this ancient ministry. Witnessed through the life death and resurrection of Christ it is refreshed and re-imagined here for a time both of breathtaking scientific advance and of an urgent need to affirm our wholeness and faith while embracing the momentous challenges to our traditional understanding of health and healing.

Flute and Piano. Par BRYAN KELLY. Woodwind players in particular have cause to thank Bryan Kelly for so many tuneful and finely crafted collections of pieces written for their enjoyment.

The standard is intermediate, and the style laconic, engaging, soigné - pure Kelly! / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Recueil / Clarinette et Piano

Clarinet and Piano. Par JOLLIFFE EDMUND. The composer has written extensively for film and television, and his gift for musical characterisation illuminates every bar of My Family and Other Animals. Here is a delightful human menagerie, a family circle with its typical variety of awkward and amiable relatives, beautifully portrayed in music of beguiling simplicity by Edmund Jolliffe. Technically, for beginners and early-grade players, there is an important lesson that musical expression is in essence the expression of personality, often from the most basic musical resources. Brother is a cool repeated phrase - a bit detached. Mum is a gentle lullaby, and Grandmother a soothing, dependable tune. Grandfather turns sweet too, but not before a spiky introduction. From his breezy melody Dad seems on his way elsewhere. Perhaps off to wash the car! / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Clarinette et Piano
