Commissioned by Bromsgrove Concerts with financial assistance from Arts Council England 1st perf: Smith Quartet, Artrix, Bromsgrove, 27 February 2009 Favoured by English composers from Purcell to Vaughan Williams and Britten, the ground-bass form receives a contemporary makeover in Morgan Hayes's Dances on a Ground. Artfully four-square, a cello ostinato stays stubbornly true to its original thoughts. Meanwhile, above it a capricious ensemble of two violins and viola swaggers its way through flights of melody and jumpy pizzicati to an ecstatic conclusion. Commissioned by Bromsgrove Concerts with funding provided by Arts Council England, Dances on a Ground was first performed by the innovative Smith Quartet at the Artrix, Bromsgrove, on 27 February 2009.

The traditional Christmas text and new music combine to create an introspective work filled with reverent mystery and rich emotion. Set in a rocking 6/8 and minor mode, the first verse opens with back and forth phrases between the women and men, leading into a contrasting homophonic section in the 2nd verse. Following a modulation, the original melodic material then returns for the final verse. Excellent for school, church and community concerts!
