Par FRANCES-HOAD CHERYL. Thinking I Hear Thee Call by Cheryl Frances-Hoad is inspired by the life of Florence Attridge, an Essex woman who, whilst working at the Marconi factory in Chelmsford during WWII, helped to make secret radio sets for spys. In this piece for soprano, speaker and electronics, we hear Florence recount her experiences, whilst, in another, secret location, in another time, a spy goes through the radio's (complicated!) set up instructions one last time before going on their first reconnaissance mission. The electronic element takes sounds that are associated with Florence's life and the history of Marconi, including morse code and 'Absent', the first song to be broadcast from the factory. The text for Florence's part was written by Frances M Lynch based on research by Patricia Fara, and the speakers text comes from the official manual for the The British Type 3 Mark II Spy Radio.

Par GOODALL HOWARD. Unconditional Love is Howard Goodall?s heartfelt cantata of remembrance and gratitude, a poignant reflection upon the Covid-19 crisis. It gives thanks to those who sacrificed their lives and seeks to offer solace to the grieving. Yet unifying each of its seven movements is an overwhelming sense of hope, of moving forward in a world rebuilt. The cantata aims to commemorate the selflessness and togetherness felt by communities across the world during the pandemic and it is hoped that choirs of all kinds and in all places will be able to forever mark and celebrate its universal messages. / Date parution : 2022-05-17/ Répertoire / SATB et Piano
