The popular seasonal music of the English Georgian parish church - often called gallery music - yielded a wonderfully rich harvest of hymns carols and anthems. Drawn from a repertoire only recently rediscovered and recorded on the Hyperion label by the choir Psalmody and The Parley Instruments these new editions offer a sparkling array of fresh alternative Easter and passiontide music.

Premiered by the Takács String Quartet in 2004, Carl Vine's String Quartet No. 4 is a dark and pensive work. Split into two equal parts, this acerbic 15-minute exploration of conflict without resolution---with angular rhythmic gestures set abruptly against a brooding chorale---would make an imposing addition to any quartet's repertoire.

Described by its composer as a fantasia, Carl Vine's dramatic String Quartet No. 5 (2007) contains six clear sections, but like much of his music is cast in one continuous movement. There is some repetition and development of material throughout the 22-minute work (which has been recorded by the Goldner String Quartet on ABC Classics), but this is less important to its structure than the vivid musical contrasts that delineate its formal arc.
