10th September 6pm - Recital at Bechstein Hall
New Paths Collective
Marta Fontanals-Simmons (mezzo)
Libby Burgess (piano)
Jane Atkins (viola)

Programme:
Schubert - Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821
Britten - Charm of Lullabies
Grace Williams - Songs of Sleep
Brahms - Op 91 for voice, viola and piano

New Paths Music Festival present a new series of rush-hour performances pairing song cycles by Britten (who died 50 years ago this year) with major instrumental sonatas.

This evening’s recital opens with Schubert’s lyrical masterpiece, the Arpeggione Sonata. The concert is centred around Britten’s cycle, A Charm of Lullabies. In it, Britten sets five diverse texts unified by the themes of night and sleep, including poems by Burns and Blake.

These themes are echoed in Grace Williams’ mystical Songs of Sleep – settings poetry of Fletcher, Campion and Tennyson. Finally in Geistliches Wiegenlied (Sacred Lullaby) the Virgin Mary asks the wind and trees of the forest to be still so her baby can sleep in peace: the luscious sonorities of viola and mezzo-soprano combine in Brahms’ much-loved Viola Songs.

On This Island

For the last ten years, exceptional musicians from around the world have been gathering twice a year in the beautiful Yorkshire market town of Beverley for the New Paths Music Festival. To mark its first decade, the pioneering festival is taking the show on the road, starting with a series of rush-hour concerts in London which pair song cycles by Britten (who died 50 years ago this year) with major instrumental sonatas.

Meeting W. H. Auden in the summer of 1935 was a pivotal moment in the life of Britten, sparking a highly productive partnership and significant friendship. On This Island was the 23-year-old composer’s first published group of songs with piano. Setting five poems by Auden, the cycle includes the song Nocturne, a poignant early example of Britten’s preoccupation with the night.

Sir James MacMillan’s haunting Cello Sonata No.1 is the centrepiece of a shimmering programme which encompasses works by English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh composers, plus a gem by André Previn.

Programme:

Benjamin Britten: On This Island (15’)
(i) Let the florid music praise!
(ii) Now the leaves are falling fast
(iii) Seascape
(iv) Nocturne
(v) As it is, plenty

James MacMillan: Cello Sonata No. 1 (24’)
(i) Face
(ii) Image

André Previn: Vocalise (4’)
Cheryl Frances-Hoad: Lament (3’)
Rebecca Clarke: God made a tree (2’)
Ernest Moeran: Prelude for Cello & Piano (4’)
Dilys Elwyn-Edwards: Cloths of Heaven (2’)
Muriel Herbert: Renouncement (3’) taken in Bechstein Hall by @bechsteinhall
