Composer's Notes:When I was asked to write a piece to celebrate the restoration of Michelangelo’s Mosè I returned to the paper written by Sigmund Freud on the sculpture which I had discovered by chance many years ago.Freud’s fascination with the Mosè began in 1901 when he visited San Pietro in Vincoli for the first time. A series of subsequent visits culminated in the publication of the Moses of Michaelangelo in 1914 from which I have usedtwo extracts to ‘frame’ the main body of my text which consists of selections from Michelangelo’s own letters. In 1505 Michelangelo was summoned to Rome by Pope Julis II and was commissioned to build a tomb which would reflectthe magnificence of the Pontiff’s reign. Forty years and four Popes later the tomb modified and scaled down due to a variety of financial and political changes of circumstance was completed. The letters give the impression ofan idealist at work: Michelangelo personally selected each piece of marble and supervised its transportation to Rome by his more worldly and capricious paymasters. His creative and artistic frustrations are mirrored by problems ofa more a practical nature; payment for both his services and the materials is erratic. At one point his is accused of embezzling funds. The complete text tells the story of an artists struggle and eventual triumph againstexternal circumstances. The Mosè by virtue of its very nature combines the elements of the physical and the spiritual with which Michelangelo challenged and eventually triumphed over the restraints of the context in which he hadto work. The lovingly selected and cared for marble in the hands of the unpaid exploited artist is transformed into something more substantial and eternal. Michael Nyman

A Hymne To God My God is a composition by renowned composer Michael Ball arranged for quadruple SATB choir as an a cappella performance. The piece is a setting of texts by English poet John Donne and it was commissioned in 1984 by the BBC for the 30th anniversary of the BBC Northern Singers.   This wonderful work includes a wealth of lush harmonies created by the sizeable sixteen voices. The solid interplay of 4 different bass melodies lay an immense foundation for the 8 different soprano and alto voices lending an exquisite weight to the lyrical beauty of Donne's poetry. A joy to sing this unique a cappella piece is sureto be the highlight of any performance.    Composer Michael Ball was a Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust Scholar at the Royal College of Music and in 1970 he was one of four students selected to take part in master classes with Nadia Boulanger. A prolific composer Ball's works have been played and broadcast internationally and he has received numerous commissions including five from the BBC.

Horn, Paul (Arr.) - Mh 837. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. The Missa sub titulo Sti. Leopoldi pro festo Innocentium MH 837, written for the choir boys of the Salzburg Cathedral, was the last completed work of Johann Michael Haydn. Haydn composed more than thirty works to Latin and German settings for his “beloved choir boys” in a scoring for two or three treble voices. The composition of the Leopoldi-Mass was completed on 22 December 1805 and it “corresponds entirely to the strength of the hopeful pupils. ” On New Year’s Eve in 1805 Haydn, who had long been sick and who suffered under the consequences of the invasion of the French, wrote to his friend Father Weringand Rettensteiner: “in spite of all the tragic circumstances, I still wrote aMass for the children’s festival, and I think they enjoyed it. ” / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SSA, Choeur SSA, 2 ViolonS Basse Continue

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Ecrites de droite à gauche, en miroir, ces multiples traces fragmentées d'une tentative de décrire et de comprendre un monde chargé de mystère et d'inconnu ont une particularité, celle d'être de la main d'un homme probablement hors du commun qui fut capable à la fois de regarder avec les yeux de l'artiste et de ceux du physicien-naturaliste. De ce dialogue entre observation (description) et explications scientifiques résulte une poésie profonde et mystérieuse. Le titre Formes-Fragments est une allusion à ma tentative d'organiser divers fragments choisis en une (des) structures(s) musicale(s). Michael Jarrell Regarde la lumière et considère sa beauté. Bats (cligne) l'oeil et regarde-là ce que tu vois n'était pas d'abord et ce qui en était n'est plus. Qui est celui qui la refait si celui qui l'a faite meurt continuellement ? De même que la pierre jetée dans l'eau se fait centre et cause de divers cercles, et que le son produit dans l'air se répand circulairement sa voix, de même les corps se répandent, ainsi tout corps placé parmi l'air lumineux se répand circulairement, emplit les parties environnantes de ses infinies images (son image indéfiniment reproduite) et apparaît tout en tout, et tout en chaque petite partie. Toutes les choses qui sont cachées en hiver et sous la neige resteront découvertes et manifestes en été. Dit pour le mensonge qui ne peut rester occulte. Le mouvement est cause de toute vie. Pense bien à la fin, regarde d'abord la fin. Prenons l'exemple du soleil si tu suis le cours d'un fleuve et que tu voies le soleil se réfléchir dans ce fleuve, autant que tu marcheras le long du fleuve, autant le soleil te paraîtra faire le chemin avec toi et cela 'parce que tu' parce que le soleil est tout en tout et tout dans la partie. Tout mal laisse du déplaisir dans le souvenir, sauf le suprême mal, c'est-à-dire la mort qui tue ce souvenir en même temps que la vie. L'air est d'azur par les ténèbres qu'il a au-dessus de lui, parce que noir et blanc font azur. Tous les mouvements violents s'affaiblissent plus, d'autant qu'ils se séparent plus de leur cause. Lune froide et humide. L'eau est froide et humide. Notre mer a sur la lune une influence telle que celle de la lune sur nous.
