Bernard Lewkovitch: Twelve Motets Of The Spanish Golden Age

Judith Weir: I Give You The End Of A Golden String (Study Score)

Judith Weir: I Give You The End Of A Golden String (Study Score)

I Give You The End Of A Golden String was commissioned in 2013, by the Royal Philharmonic Society/Britten-Pears Foundation, to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Brittenand the bicentenary of the foundation of the Royal Philharmonic Society. The piece was first performed on 8th June 2013 by the Britten Sinfonia conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth. 'My aim when I began this piece was to create a long length of string music out of a single strand of melody.While experimenting at the beginning, shaping and extending a melody in many possible directions, I cameacross William Blake’s lines… I give you the end of a golden string; Only wind it into a ball, It will lead you in at Heaven’s gate, Built in Jerusalem’s wall …and this became my working method, winding a single tune around itself so that it gradually formed itselfinto a much richer, more complex texture. The process happens three times, producing the equivalent of acontinuous three-movement concerto.The ‘first movement’ is engendered by two solo violas (the melody at the beginning already entwined witha slightly alternative version of itself). The ‘slow movement’ (a more extended, more decorated developmentof the opening tune) is introduced by a solo cello (soon winding itself into a quartet of celli). The fast ‘finale’,led by two solo violins, focuses on decorations within the melody, rolling out ribbons of (Britten-like?) thirds.' - Judith Weir Suggested minimum strings: 8.6.4.4.2 players

Peter Maxwell Davies: Caroline Mathilde Act 2 (Concert Suite) (Score)

Peter Maxwell Davies: Caroline Mathilde Act 2 (Concert Suite) (Score)

The story centres on the English princess Caroline Mathilde (1751-1775), sister of George III, who at the age of 15 was sent to Denmark to marry the 17-year-old eccentric and schizophrenic Danish King, Christian VII. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with Struensee, the King's influential physician, which leads to their arrest, his execution and her exile, at the age of 20, separated from her two young children.This suite begins with the act's opening number: a boisterous, stamping dance to which the people rudely mock Queen Caroline Mathilde and her lover Struensee. After this comes a dark Adagio, The Conspiracy, in which the theme passes like persuasion from mouth to mouth, its variations suggesting the different attitudes of the conspirators, firmly controlled by the brass-driven gestures of the Queen Dowager. The conspiracy then works itself out at a court masked ball, from which the suite includes two dances: a gavotte, and a slow, lubricious passacaglia that is a pas de deux for Caroline Mathilde and Struensee. The Arrest comes with a gathering rush of music that envelops the King, the Queen and Struensee, leading to a vociferous climax in which they are held apart. In The Execution, slow white music for wordless female voices, harp and low strings is interrupted by pathetic, alienated outbursts from the King. The suite ends, as does the ballet, with a quiet adagio lament for clarinets and alto flute as the Queen goes into exile.Score. Duration c. 33mins.

Eric Whitacre: Three Flower Songs (SATB)

Eric Whitacre: Three Flower Songs (SATB)

Written early in Whitacre's career whilst at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. Arranged for SATB choir, includes a Piano line for rehearsal purposes.I Hide MyselfJust a simple song, really. All of the musical suggestions come from a careful study of the poem, a quiet, passionate soul occasionally speaking a little bolder than the age will allow. She loves almost to the point of distraction, and this mood must prevail in the performance: shy and sullen, her passion surging to the surface only to sink back into the silence that is herself.Go, Lovely RoseThe piece is structured around the cyclical life of a rose, and is connection throughout by the opening 'rose motif', a seed that begins on the tonic and grows in all directions before it blossoms, dies and grows again. Each season is represented: spring begins the piece, summer appears at bar 13, autumn at bar 26, winter at bar 39 with spring returning at bar 49. The form is based on the Fibonacci sequence (the pattern found in plant and animal cell divisions) - its fifty five bars are a perfect Fibonacci number. The Golden Mean appears at bar 34 as all parts are reunited to complete the flower before its final blossom and inevitable cycle of death and rebirth.Each performance should be approached with a child-like innocence and naivety that allows us to marvel at the return of the rose each spring. The szforzandos throughout must be light and gentle.With A Lily In Your HandWater and Fire. If the performance of this piece connects these contrasting elemental ideas, its success is guaranteed. Water: At bar 30, this ostinato should be fluid and gentle, only interrupted at bar 32 as the butterflies momentarily spring out of the texture; bars 35-38 the water should slowly transform back to fire. Bar 44 should be tiny bell-tones motivating the next nine bars, another patient, sensuous transformation back to fire. Fire: Everything else.
