‘Circus Delight’ is a five-part suite which is set, how could it be otherwise, in a big circus tent.

The suite starts with a part called ‘Entrance’. The orchestra, positioned above the entrance of the ring asks for the attention of the audience and then the ring announcer enters. The show can begin!
The elephants play a central role in the first act. These colossal grey animals are rather slow and perform their tricks in a moderate tempo. (‘Elephant Blues’)
How different are ‘The Acrobats’. At high speed they run, jump and fly through the ring, until ....... It gets very exciting. Fortunately, all’s well that ends well and they take their leave of the audienceat a trot.
Everyone knows, and yet it is mostly not spoken about, that when a clown has taken off his red nose and rubbed off his make-up, his face off-stage is not always a happy one. (‘Tears of the Clown’)
The piece ends on a cheerful note with ‘The Parade’, in which all the artists make their entrance in the ring once again to gratefully acknowledge the audience’s overwhelming applause.

‘Circus Delight’ is een vijfdelige suite die zich afspeelt in, hoe kan het ook anders, een grote circustent.

De suite begint met ‘Entrance’. Het orkest dat boven de ingang van de piste zit vraagt de aandacht van het publieken de spreekstalmeester komt binnen. De voorstelling kan beginnen.
De olifanten staan centraal in de eerste act. De grote grijze kolossen zijn niet de snelste dieren en vertonen hun kunsten in een rustig tempo. (‘ElephantBlues’)
Bij ‘The Acrobats’ is dat wel even anders. In rap tempo hollen, springen en vliegen ze door de piste totdat ... het heel spannend wordt. Maar het gaat gelukkig goed en in snel tempo nemen ze afscheid van het publiek.
Iedereen weet het en toch, er wordt meestal niet over gesproken dat wanneer de clown na de voorstelling zijn rode neus en schmink afdoet, we zien dat het gezicht van de clown niet altijd lacht. (‘Tears of the Clown’)
We sluiten vrolijk af met ‘The Parade’ waarin alle artiesten nog een keer in de piste voorbijkomen, om het overweldigende applaus dankbaar in ontvangst te nemen.

This beautiful collection by Irish composer Liam Lawton reflects the haunting beauty of his own Celtic tradition and carries with it the hope of future days for all people. Ancient Ways, Future Days includes songs of hope, songs of tears, and songs of inspiration for the seasons of the liturgical year, all with a definite Irish flavor! Liam's bright, joyous version of the Magnificat features a strong, uplifting refrain that practically sings itself, while the haunting Celtic strains of Psalm 21: My God, My God create a pensive mood to begin Holy Week. Pieta: The Silence and the Sorrow is a heartfelt song with a stirring vocal solo for Good Friday services. Let Every Human Heart is an uplifting piece, perfect as a closing song during Lent.

... she stood leering hideously, and much dust sodden with tears lay upon her shoulders.

These snippets from Johann Heinrich Voss's translation of Hesiod's Shield of Hercules, where the din of battle is brought to a standstill for the wink of an eye, made me think of music that describes the 'inwardness' of a particular feeling, close to the much-cited metaphor of an entire life flitting past the inner eye in the space of a second, when, as in Hesiod, Atropos severs the thread of life. Viola and piano join forces on an equal basis to inscribe ever more lines and shapes which, however, relate in their inmost essence to intertwining circles laden with melancholy.
(Philipp Maintz)
