The Lark Ascending: Music from Nature for Choir, Cello & Violin
The natural world has inspired composers for centuries. Few more so than Vaughan Williams, whose The Lark Ascending is one of the most enduringly popular pieces of music of all time. Paul Drayton’s expressive arrangement brings new colours (and words) to this timeless favourite. Plainscapes might well be the Latvian equivalent, its dream-like texture of wordless choir, cello and violin evoking the native birds of Peteris Vasks’ homeland.
More birds round out the programme, with Stanford’s miraculous and poised The Bluebird, in its original context of the Op. 119 folksongs, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death. Musical Director: James Potter Cello: Chris Terepin Violin: Freya Goldmark |
