for string quartet-Song Recollections is based on the beautiful folk music of Taiwanese aboriginal tribes which I fell in love with many years ago. My good friends from Taiwan introduced these songs to me when I was a college student. I was and still am amazed by this magical music! My quartet treats each song as a musical ‘landscape’ through which one can ‘travel’. To compose a work is very much like curating a journey for a listener to traverse through the song’s inner terrain and sonic landscape. Lei Liang

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 ispassed 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.
