Premiere recordings of works by major contemporary British composer
World class artists
Texts of vocal work included
JEFFREY LEWIS studied with Stockhausen and Ligeti and his earlier works were uncompromising, but his later music featured here, is modern yet very approachable and melodic with often haunting atmospheres. He has received many commissions from the BBC and his works have been performed by many leading artists.
ZHENG-YU WU, violin, is a leading Chinese musician who has played with all major Chinese orchestras and toured many countries.
CAROLINE MACPHIE, soprano, is developing a fine reputation in both recital and operatic work.
DAVID JONES, piano and director, is a senior staff member at the RNCM, pianist for the Halle Choir and carries out numerous other engagements.
The disc contains first recordings of the beautiful vocal piece Silentia Noctis, two works for violin and piano, one solo piano work and a piece for chamber ensemble, all demonstrating why Lewis is one of the most individual and skilful composers of our age.

Composer Jane Wells says that much of her music is inspired by projects with specific communities for special occasions - hence the title of the CD. Ultramarine and Wherever Next started out as music with dance. Wells's music is "of many moods" because of this, and has a life not just in itself but in the circumstances and events from which it was conceived.

Pieces written as a student (her composition teachers included Jonathan Harvey) were first performed at London venues in Society for the Promotion of New Music concerts. Commissions such as Composition for clarinet quintet followed (also broadcast on Radio 3) as well as various pieces composed for dance which were performed at the ICA, Riverside Studios, regional festivals, abroad and on Channel 4 TV (‘…set to a witty score for oboe and dripping water…’ New York Times).

She left London in 1987 to become composer/musician-in-residence at a small arts centre on the North Norfolk coast and wrote In These Places which was performed by John Harle with the County Youth Orchestra at St Andrews Hall, Norwich. Other large-scale pieces have included To the Turning of the Millennium (for baritone, children’s choir, small ensemble and tape), Here’s What I Saw (a half-evening of music-theatre) and Playing The Game for symphony orchestra premiered in Chelmsford.

A mid-length CD of five small-scale pieces played by the Composers Ensemble is available on the Metier label (‘an engaging saxophone solo…a splendid miniature cantata…’ Tempo magazine). Time Song (for counter-tenor, recorder and ‘cello) is included on the CD, ‘Pied Piper’, released in 2009 on the Campion Cameo label. Her composing takes place in the context of a busy programme of community music project- leading with people of many ages and abilities.

All the works on this disc, according to the composer Justin Connolly, are explorations of images of darkness. They include "Nocturnal" a set of sea-pictures, and "Scardanelli Dreams", which "charts the motion of a great spirit, not dimmed, but which illuminates the darkness in which it finds itself."

Sonatina for Oboe and Piano; Three Songs to Poems by Robert Graves (mezzo soprano, recorder and piano); Four Songs (mezzo soprano and piano); Suite from ‘Degrees of Evidence’ (recorder, oboe and viola); Remember (mezzo soprano and piano); Two Stopfordian Impressions (recorder and piano); Sonata for Cello and Piano; Escapades (recorder, bassoon and piano); Walking Cimbrone (bassoon and piano); Harlequinade (recorder and guitar); Mrs Harris in Paris (treble recorder and piano)

This is the third CD in the new Metier series of contemporary lyrical British music - following MSV28520 Music by Veale and Crawford and MSV28522 Pipings and Bowings - Lyrical English Chamber Music by Hurd, Milford & Blackford.

As a further release in our exploration of lyrical English Chamber Music (following MSV28520 - Music by Veale and Crawford and MSV 28522 Pipings and Bowings - Music by Hurd Milford and Blackford) here we have a disc featuring some lovely pieces composed by David Dubery. Being largely self-taught he works in a traditional language preferring miniature to medium sized projects. His music is tonal, rooted in past traditions, and working with dancers and actors has ensured rhythm and movement play an integral part in its composition.

Baroque

This CD couples two early Baroque vocal works that typify the new style that was emerging in Italy in the early 1600's. Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is Monteverdi's madrigal setting of Tasso's epic poem, take full advantage of the drama inherent in the text. Carissimi's Jeptha sets the Biblical story to music, anticipating the sacred cantatas that were to flourish later in the Baroque.
