    Nicholas Maw Spring Music Voices of Memory BBC National Orchestra of Wales William Boughton Sonata for Solo Violin Harriet Mackenzie two ideas: the first is a songlike line that rises from low to very high, while the second Nicholas Maw (1935-2009) consists of a wistful sighing motive in double-stopped tremolo. A more flowing episode leads, via the sighing motive, into a solemn sequence reminiscent of a funeral march, with a steady, pulsing ostinato played both arco and pizzicato on open strings. There Spring Music for Orchestra (1982 rev.1984) 14.38 is a telescoped repeat of the faster music and the atmospheric coda is played as though 1 Allegro brillante 2.50 heard from afar. 2 - Moderato con moto, sempre grazioso 5.04 The last movement, ‘Flight’, is fast and vigorous, characterised by tremolando bowing 3 - a tempo 3.09 and shifting rhythmic accents. At the heart of the movement is a more relaxed, lyrical 4 - Comodo e sempre grazioso 3.35 passage with a richly sonorous chordal texture. After this the music rapidly gathers pace resulting in a varied reprise of the opening section before an impulsive dash to the finish. In Maw’s Sonata for Solo Violin, the constraints of writing for a single stringed Voices of Memory - Variations for Orchestra (1995) 27.01 instrument in a four-movement, large-scale work are deftly surmounted by the 5 Theme Grave e sostenuto 1.10 composer’s gift for melodic lines and rhythmic invention.

    THE CONFESSION OF A SECRETIVE SYMPHONIST by David Hackbridge Johnson Tere was a ritual about my father’s putting-on of records: the scrutiny of the sleeve, the careful handling of the vinyl (‘never touch the surface!’), the semicircular sweeps of the cleaning cloth, and fnally the dull crack as the stylus dropped into the groove. And what followed? More ofen than not, the sound of an orchestra: a late Mozart symphony or the Fifh of Sibelius, Elgar’s ‘Enigma’ or a Bach ‘Brandenburg’. I recall the sounds from the age of four, but they must have been there already at birth. From when I was around ten, the sound of the orchestra no longer remained silent afer the record fnished but continued in my head and has done so ever since, a more or less constant inner soundworld. At frst I mentally replayed the works from my father’s record collection but later found that they could be changed: material could go in diferent ways from those the composer had settled on. I had a particular obsession with Tchaikovsky and once was able to extend the coda of his Fourth Symphony for most of a somewhat insomniac night. We had terrifc local libraries in Sutton1 (their classical-music sections have now been more or less obliterated) and I remember very well the earliest scores I brought back with my father: Mozart 39, Sibelius Te Swan of Tuonela, Elgar Serenade for Strings. Dozens more scores followed in the years to come. Te frst concerts I was taken to were a series comprising the complete Violin Sonatas of Beethoven.
