    Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum.

  • The BBC National Orchestra of Wales Is the Nation's Only Full-Time
    CC(3) AC 11 Communities and Culture Committee Inquiry into the „accessibility of arts and cultural activities in Wales‟ Submission by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales We are grateful for the opportunity to provide evidence for the Committee‟s Inquiry. The first part of our submission provides an overview of the Orchestra‟s work. The second part addresses a number of questions posed in the consultation letter. A. Background The BBC National Orchestra of Wales (BBC NOW) is the nation‟s only full-time professional symphony orchestra. It has an established reputation as one of the leading orchestral ensembles in the UK. It has won considerable audience and critical acclaim in recent years, under its conducting team, led by Thierry Fischer. The Orchestra‟s home is the newly-built Hoddinott Hall at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, and it produces extensive output for BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru. With the crucial funding support of Arts Council Wales, the Orchestra has also developed a major national role, touring throughout Wales each year (this role is described in more detail in our response to question 1) and delivering a highly-regarded community outreach and education programme (please see our response to question 2). In any one season, BBC NOW strives to present a broad repertoire of both past and contemporary music to allow audiences to experience works drawn from the whole panoply of orchestral music – from the baroque to present day film and jazz. The Orchestra works with a wide range of contemporary composers and has two positions specifically for composers within its artistic roster.

  • Divine Art Is to Release a New Album Violin Muse with Madeleine Mitchell Featuring 7 World Premiere Recordings by UK Composers
    Divine Art is to release a new album Violin Muse with Madeleine Mitchell featuring 7 world premiere recordings by UK composers Violin Muse Madeleine Mitchell Release Date: 20 October 2017 Label: Divine Art Review copies on request from late August Album launch: 25 October Royal College of Music More information below “One of the UK’s liveliest musical forces, the indefatigably adventurous violinist Madeleine Mitchell” The Times Divine Art is to release a new album, Violin Muse with Madeleine Mitchell, featuring 7 world premiere recordings by UK composers Guto Puw, Michael Nyman, Sadie Harrison, Geoffrey Poole, David Matthews, Michael Berkeley and Judith Weir. As an internationally renowned solo violinist with a critically acclaimed discography, Madeleine has been an inspiration to composers and painters alike over the years, including The Madeleine Series by painter Gerald Marks which were created between 1989-1991. Five of the works, by Puw, Nyman, Harrison, Poole and Matthews were written for and premiered by Mitchell. Judith Weir writes: “Madeleine Mitchell’s central position as an advocate of new violin music makes her the ideal performer to undertake this survey of recent work by UK composers”. On 7 September, Madeleine Mitchell will perform the world premiere of Grace Williams’ Violin Sonata (1938) with Konstantin Lapshin, in addition to the Weir and Harrison from Violin Muse, at Bangor University as part of the International Conference on Women’s Work in Music. On 25 October, 2-4pm, the Royal College of Music will host an album launch with a performance by Madeleine and Nigel Clayton and discussion with composer Guto Puw and RCM Head of Composition William Mival, followed by refreshments.
