yamamanamaRalph Vaughan Williams - Three Shakespeare Songs
The oldest work of music on the setlist and the only one written by someone who died before I was born, composed in 1951 whilst Ralph Vaughan Williams was 80 years old and meditating on his inevitable death. The words ding dong are indistinct, as if heard from thirty feet underwater.
Adria Stolk - Doubt
Followed up with the newest, premiered just one day ago, written without a tonal core until the final line "never doubt that I love." She was buried under a figurative mountain of work when the ensemble came to her and so she wrote what may be the shortest thing she's ever written.
Hamlet says "doubt thou that the stars are fire. doubt that the sun doth move." when Copernicus was challenging the old geocentric worldview.
Jaakko Mäntyjärvi - Four Shakespeare Songs
Halting rhythms and a sense of despair, lilts and shifts from major to minor modes in an ethereal faery lullaby, the chanting of witches, and underwater bells.
Emma Lou Diemer - Three Madrigals
An old form accompanied by a relatively new instrument: the piano.
Nils Lindberg - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
György Orbán
Appropriately for his Magyar heritage, the booklet uses Kolozsvár and not Cluj-Napoca. They did spell it Kolosvár but it's probably a mistake.
In O Mistress Mine, he plays around with jazz harmony and nonsense syllables and in Orpheus With His Lute, he pairs voices but it doesn't sound too anarchic. In Come Away, he shows that there are comedic elements in the tragedies and tragic elements in the comedies.
George Shearing - Music To Hear
As we've been dropping hints of jazz throughout, here we embrace jazz. Sort of. He is a jazz legend. But this is a choral work accompanied by piano and cello.
Ward Swingle - It Was A Lover And His Lass
With scatting to imitate the sound of a bass and a guitar.
burning question: is James Patterson just another pen name for R.L. Stine?
