This volume reflects two aspects of Lord Berners' work. Firstly his solo piano pieces from the period of the First World War, and secondly the applied music for films, plays or ballets of his later years. His genuine gifts were immediately recognised by Stravinsky and Casella, although from 1934 moved towards writing and painting. The quality of his music makes him a colourful figure in British music.

In one of the dedicatory poems to his verse play The Shadowy Waters (1906), William Butler Yeats asks: Is Eden far away...? Do our woods and winds and verponds cover more quiet woods, More shining winds, more star-glimmering ponds? Is Eden out of time and out of space? How do you answer such questions? We have only the vague elusive promptings of our own mysterious, troubled hearts to tell us that the Eden we long for is there, somewhere beyond the physical world which frames our existence, in another realm of different dimensions. And - what is most painful to admit - that it is closed to us in the form in which we live and breathe, even if at times we do have intimations..., Yeats is telling us that this paradise, this Eden we yearn for is here - present even if invisible, palpable even if intangible. In his Second Symphony, Mahler meets an angel who tells him he can't get into heaven, he's locked out. The news is shattering. What follows is an inconsolable sorrowing, the same sorrowing that comes when we wake to the realization that we too are locked out of Eden. Eden is the heaven of our longing and desire for release from pain and suffering. Eden is the image in our restive minds that reflects the reconciled, resolved, quiescent state of soul we hunger for. But Eden eludes -because it is not a place. It is a state of soul which answers none of the illusory, hampering conditions that shape and bind us to the real world of our bodies, our appetites, our passions, and our beliefs. I have turned Yeats' question Is Eden out of time and out of space? into its own answering. However near we may sense its presence at times, Eden remains unreachable, ungraspable, unknowable, unthinkable. It forever eludes us. I wrote this music the way I did to shut out -with quietness and otherworldliness - the clamor and clang of the raucous Garish Day, to turn away its tumult and noise, to negate its stridency and chaos. Perhaps in the cleansing stillness and blessing of this emptied-out state of soul, Eden, through still hidden, may not be so far way; though still unreachable, may be close enough almost to touch.In one of the dedicatory poems to his verse play “The Shadowy Waters†(1906), William Butler Yeats asks:“Is Eden far away…?Do our woods and windsand verponds cover morequiet woods,More shining winds,more star-glimmeringponds?Is Eden out of timeand out of space?â€How do you answer such questions?

1. My Beautiful Island (in the present) - The character is that of a young woman who sings joyfully and exuberantly of the beauty of her island - a magnificent paradise. 2. Oh Home of Sweet Tranquility (20 years later) - The woman is beginning to realize that her cherished island is beginning to disappear due to the encroaching waves, storms and ever increasing heat. The bloom of her idealism and youth has been replaced with something more dreadful. 3. The Song Itself We Have Forgotten (an additional 20 years later) - The island clearly is doomed due to rising seas resulting in the evacuation of the entire island. She is experiencing a slow simmering shock, is dis-regulated, mumbling, and thoroughly disbelieving in what is taking place. Out in the distance I imagined an ocean liner on the horizon. She’s standing on a long line to be transported to the ship that will take her to an unknown destination and destiny. 4. Aubade - (a love poem welcoming or lamenting the arrival of dawn) As expressed by a seagull riding the wind above the ocean, my take of it relates to the arc of universal existence - Beginning, Middle (life expressed), End. Performance Note: Island Elegy and Aubade may be performed by 3 sopranos - one for each song- or by one soprano. In the latter case the final Aubade may be performed via a previously recorded multitrack rendering of all three parts or two parts with the soprano singing the top part. Alternatively, the pianist can accompany the soprano, (who sings the top line) by playing the bottom two parts on a melodica, piano or electric keyboard. Soprano(s) & Piano (with opt. Melodica) Duration: ca. 25' Composed: 2023 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.

TemA was written in the summer of 1968. In spite of Ligeti's Aventures it may be considered one of the first compositions in which the breathing plays a role as an accoustically transmitted energy process (Holliger, Globokar, Kagel, Schnebel and Stockhausen in Hymnen have already worked on this phenomenon independently of each other and from different points of view). Moreover, temA marks for me the first step into that musique concrete instrumentale in which the mechanical conditions of the sound production are incorporated into the composition. This characterizes my later pieces such as Kontrakadenz, Air, Pression etc. more consistently. In temA, unlike what happened in my previous works, the naturalistic extreme cases were consciously accepted but at the same time integrated into a very rigorous musical context which was also to give a new meaning to the traditional playing conceptions. The violation of the tabus felt in the nearly 70s (not only regarding this piece) lay to a less degree in the phenomenon of the sound deformation (snoring, pressed strings, soundless blowing etc.), since such an alienation was perfectly tolerated as an humoristic, dadaistic or expressionistic element. Rather the shock was caused by the technical logic of the movements which rendered relative the sheer surrealistic effect and had to be taken seriously instead of in an humoristic way.(Helmut Lachenmann, translation: Roger Clement)CD:Linda Hirst, Martin Fahlenbock, Lucas Fels CD Montaigne Auvidis MO 782023ensemble phorminxCD WER 6682 2Bibliography:Hiekel, Jorn Peter: Escaped from Paradise?
