Cheryl Frances-Hoad's One Life Stand for Mezzo-Soprano with Piano accompaninment sets a text by Sophie Hannah. 'The idea for One Life Stand originated from a discussion over lunch in Cambridge with my friend Jennifer Johnston. She was bemoaning the fact that although she loved to sing Schumann’s Frauen-Liebe und Leben (Women’s Lives and Loves) and was always being asked to do so she did find Chamisso’s words rather outdated and suggested I write an updated version. I jumped at the chance and by pudding we were already thinking about whose poetry I might set. A few weekslater during a meeting with Chris Gribble (Chief Executive of Writers’ Centre Norwich) he told us that the crime writer and poet Sophie Hannah had recently moved to Cambridge and had many suitable poems. It wasn’t long before we all met up for lunch and began discussing the contenders for a series of poems that might portray a modern woman’s life and loves. To begin with I had a list of about twenty five poems that I would have liked to set taken from four of Sophie’s poetry collections (The Hero and the Girl Next Door (1995) Hotels like Houses (1996) First of the Last Chances (2003) and Pessimism for Beginners (2007: all published by Carcanet Press) but the final eight in my view come together to form a narrative that is clear yet open to interpretation and contains the whole gamut of complex emotions (both serious and humorous) that made the poems such a dream to set to music. Although the idea for the work originated as a reaction to Chamisso’s poetry in the course of composing the cycle I found much inspiration from Schumann’s song cycle and many of the songs in my work are based very closely on either the harmony and/or the motivic material of what in my view is the “corresponding” song in Frauen-Liebe und Leben.' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad

At the Court Of The Poisoned Rose-Programme Note: The song At the Court of the Poisoned Rose was commissioned by the countertenor James Huw-Jeffries. It is based upon a long prose poem by the Scottish poetess Marion Angus (1866-1946). Published under the title of Alas! Poor Queen the poem narrates the tragic story of the life of Mary Queen of Scots who was manipulated by the political ambitions of those around her. Given the work?s length and sectional nature the song is more akin to a ?Dramatic Scena?. The music opens mysteriously setting a nostalgic atmosphere that seeks to mirror the queen?s confinement and sense of resignation. This is followed by acontrasting section that conveys her love of life?s trivialities and her capricious nature ? it is quicker in tempo. These two ideas are subsequently developed and reshaped. At the words ?she rode through Liddesdale with a song? I have adapted an aire by the Elizabethan composer Philip Rosseter and interpolated material from the previous sections. The emotional climax of the work comes on the poignant words ?Queens should be cold and wise?. In spite of this the lighthearted and earthly bound music returns reminding us that the Queen only ?loved little things and red-legged partridges and the golden fishes of the Duc de Guise?. - Ian Venables Duration: c. 6 minutes
