Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir.Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate.Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices.The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace.Gavin Bryars.

Ayres set two verses from a children's poem by the Danish lyric poet and theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872). It tells of the shining star of Christmas. In double-choir structure, alternating between female and male-voice choir, Ayres depicts the shining of the star leading in a great intensification to a magnificent radiating effect. The mainly homophonic work remains in a tonal A major throughout, but contains surprises with some abrupt individual modulations which require secure intonation. It is suitable for both Advent concerts and for Christmas or Epiphany services. For ease of performance the whole piece contains a singable German and English translation.

De Engelse componist, dirigent en pianist Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) werd vooral bekend met zijn kleurrijke instrumentaties die waren gebaseerd op oosterse muziek. In a Monastery Garden, waarschijnlijk het bekendste werkvan Ketèlbey, gecomponeerd in 1915, is een kort symfonisch gedicht. In dit arrangement voor harmonieorkest van Tohru Takahashi komt de sfeer van het oorspronkelijke werk uitstekend tot zijn recht.Der englische Komponist, Dirigent und Pianist Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) machte sich besonders durch seine farbigen Instrumentierungen, die auf orientalischer Musik basierten, einen Namen. In a Monastery Garden, Ketèlbeys wohl bekanntestes Werk, gehört zu einer Reihe kurzer Tongedichte aus dem Jahre 1915. Diese Transkription von Tohru Takahashi wird der Atmosphäre des Originals voll und ganz gerecht. Partitions de Chœur - SATB - 25 ex.Le compositeur, chef d’orchestre et pianiste anglais Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) est particulièrement connu pour ses orchestrations colorées au caractère orientaliste. Il est également l’auteur de plusieurs œuvres vocales. Plus tard, Ketèlbey composa essentiellement des musiques légères et divertissantes pour le cinéma muet. Il a travaillé pour de grandes maisons d’édition musicales et fut directeur artistique de la Columbia Gramophone Company.Composé en 1915, In a Monastery Garden (Dans le jardin d’un monastère) est sans doute le poème symphonique le plus connu du compositeur. Plusieurs autres œuvres de Ketèlbeyportent des titres qui traduisent une vision mystérieuse et largement imaginaire : In a Persian Market (Sur un marché persan), In a Chinese Temple Garden (Au jardin d’une pagode chinoise) et In the Mystic Land of Egypt (L’Égypte mystique).Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie signée Tohru Takahashi reste fidèle l’œuvre originale.
