Love's Philosophy

Setting a well-known poem by Percy Shelley Love's Philosophy is a sweet and tender Choral song reflecting on the idea of love with reference to nature and the interdependent relationships evident in the world around us. Mellifluous Choral writing and sighing interjections convey the theme of unrequited or lost love.

Love's Philosophy brings together three exquisite original songs by Alexander L’Estrange exploring love and longing. Inspired by the English song of composers such as Roger Quilter and Gerald Finzi and with stunning texts by Shelley Tennyson and Byron these evocative pieces are sure to become classics of the 21st century. Set for soprano and alto voices with a straightforward piano accompaniment this collection is part of the Choral Basics series - ideal for beginner choirs and for choirs in which the male singers are few or at the stage when their voices are changing.

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Love’s Philosophy, a beautiful setting by Alexander L’Estrange, explores the marvellous comparison of couplings in nature – the mountains and the river, the moonbeams kissing the sea – and amongst humans. The music is inspired by composers Gerald Finzi and Roger Quilter, two of the most prominent figures in English song in the first half of the twentieth century, and the poem is by Shelley. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.

for four male voices. Par BRYARS GAVIN. Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir. Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate. Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices. The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace. / Répertoire / 4 Voix d'Hommes [Attbar], 2 Altos, Violoncelle et
