An Australian Festival

Price:
AU $18.13

Label: Jade Cat. No.: JADCD1095 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

This CD displays a characteristic feature of Jade releases - a combination of sacred and secular music. The colourful cover illustration of St. George slaying a dragon, illustrates the opening 4'30" track by Allworth: "Prelude for the Most Holy Name of Jesus & Saint George & The Dragon" (1990) which is followed by Allworth's 6 Meditations of Early English Saints (1990). Both works are for organ and are given a vivid interpretation by US organist and composer, Carson P. Cooman, on the organ of the Harvard University Memorial Church. Two contrasting works by Cooman follow, "Tenebrae Canticle"(2001), exploring ideas of liturgical darkness, and the sprightly "Dawning", a birthday portrait for a friend. Two historical recordings made in 1979 at Sydney's Christ Church St. Lawrence capture the ambience of this location as Colin Sapsford directs the choir in settings by Tomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611) of "Missa O Magnum Mysterium" and a Good Friday Hymn. Bartlett's own "Ceremonial Te Deum" (1988) is heard, as sung by choir and organ at a special service of Morning Prayer, at St, Andrews Cathedral, Sydney, in the presence of the Prince and the late Princess of Wales, during the 1988 Bicentennial celebrations.

In secular mode, Gross contributes two works: "Rondino Pastorale" for flute and Plectrum Ensemble (1962), and Prefatory Sonnet (1984) one of 3 Songs for soprano or tenor, clarinet & piano, in this instance sung by Anthony Walker.

Strahan's Atlantis Variations for Solo Piano, Pt. 2, (1992) is one of several works developing material for a proposed 4-opera cycle on Atlantis, this one centred around the character of Calypso, a rebellious daughter of Atlas. The CD closes with Carr-Boyd attractive miniature for piano, "Maladies Of love" (1982).
