Edward Gregson completed Tributes in the summer of 2010. Lasting some 16 minutes, there are five pieces in the set, each dedicated to a different composer and a different clarinettist (with whom Gregson had long musical associations). Each of the dedicatee composers wrote wonderfully for the Clarinet and, as a tribute to them, Gregson tried to invade, indeed imitate, their stylistic worlds in these pieces. They are as follows: To Francis Poulenc (for Emma Johnson) - a rather dreamy toccata, lyrical in feel, but interrupted by typically quirky and disruptive rhythmic episodes. To Gerald Finzi (for John Bradbury) - slow and lyrical with long melodic arches. To Igor Stravinsky (for Linda Merrick) - asymmetric rhythms dominate, with wide leaps in the solo line and bitonal harmony on the Piano. To Olivier Messiaen (for Nicholas Cox) - based on the ravishing slow movement for Cello in his Quartet for the End of Time, a seamless melody is woven around ever-changing repeated chords on the Piano. To Béla Bartók (for Michael Collins) - the most virtuoso of the set - after a slow introduction, a swirling folk-like dance unfolds, mirroring Bartok's penchant for simple modal shapes and ostinati rhythms. / Clarinette Et Piano

Livet Skal Jo Leves - John Mogensen-Sangbogen af Henrik Smith-Sivertsen og Jakob Faurholt. Sangeren komponisten og Danmarks dansktop-rebel John Mogensen (1928-1977) skrev sig direkte ind i den danske folkesjæl med tekster og melodier som stadig hænger i ører og danseben. På forunderlig vis beherskede han både det livsfilosofiske og det umiddelbare glade udtryk som gjorde ham til en ener i dansk populærmusik.Vi kan synge med på rigtig mange af John Mogensens ikoniske sange og det er ikke tilfældigt - John kunne sit håndværk og han sled forsagen endda i dobbelt forstand: spillejobs og indspilninger dag og aften - og hjem og skrive sange i nattens stille timer. I løbet af en professionel karriere der strakte sig over 25 år nåede han at være en del af de populære vokalkvartetter Blue Boys og Four Jacks for derefter i 1970erne at blive til solisten John Mogensen som lagde landet ned med sine medrivende og vedkommende sange der stadig sætter ord på tanker og følelser som de fleste kan nikke genkendende til. I denne bog kan du opleve John i alle sammenhænge: tant fjas nedtur optur kærlighed og politik - og uanset sammenhængen som nærværende og ærlig.Musikformidler og -forsker Henrik Smith-Sivertsen sætter John Mogensen i perspektiv i en længere introduktion samt forsyner de enkelte sange med fyldige noter. Jakob Faurholt har tilrettelagt noderne og desuden transskriberet de sange som ikke tidligere har været udgivet på tryk. Sangene er gengivet som becifret melodilinje med underlagt tekst og ledsages af fotografier fra hele John Mogensens karriere.

Lully, Lullay was written at the request of Philip Reed, music director of the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir, which gave the first performance on 17 December 2011 at Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, Suffolk. Inspired by the familiar medieval text of the Coventry Carol , it is sung a cappella and invokes the sense of a lullaby through its metre and lilting melody. The fragility and bittersweet tonality of the opening verse is reflected in the continuous interaction between the tonic and dominant keys and resolving dissonances. This develops into broader passages of increased range and dynamics during the second and third verses, where the melody is passed between the upper and lower voices, clearly invoking the poignancy of the text. The last verse returns to the original theme with subtle harmonic changes and a reflective final cadence. An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers, the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs, including sacred and secular works from simple, four-part settings to more expansive, yet accessible, repertoire in an exciting variety of styles. Harriet Wybor was born in Leeds in 1986 and read music as an undergraduate at Durham University, followed by an M.A. in composition with Martyn Harry and António Pinho Vargas. Harriet's main compositional interests are sacred and secular contemporary choral and chamber music, and the relationship between music and time. Her work reflects a wide range of influences from renaissance choral music and medieval texts to 20th-century literature and art. Harriet has had works performed by the Northern Sinfonia (conducted by H K Gruber), Psappha, the Allegri String Quartet, St John's College Choir, Durham, the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir and the Fishburn Band - broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Listen to the Band . After graduating from Durham University, Harriet continued her studies at the University of Edinburgh, where she read for an LL.M. in innovation, technology and the law. She has subsequently pursued a career in music publishing where she works in copyright and composes in her spare time. / Choeur SATB
