Ed Hughes '
A Time For Singing for
Clarinet, Cello and
Piano. Score and parts. '
My sister, the
clarinettist Alison
Hughes, is a member of
the Camilleri Trio who
gave the first
performance. The work was
conceived in memory of
our aunt, Gillian
Nicholls. The four
movements are: 1. Walk
with rainstorm 2. Song 3.
Scherzo 4. Until the day
break It is a kind of
narrative - in one sense
an imagined walk through
a changing landscape. A
very English one, in
other words one in which
it rains! But sometimes
lit up by sunshine. It
remembers Gillie
Nicholls, who loved
walking and loved life.
She died from cancer in
2010. I wanted to write a
piece that would remember
her and her
wonderfulenthusiasm and
sense of humour, as well
as forming a more
traditional lament. So
there are elements of
each in this piece.
Gillie was also a
profoundly spiritual
person. When she and John
Muddiman married in 2010
they asked me to write a
short song for the
wedding, 'Rise Up, My
Love', using words from
'Song of Solomon'. The
new work for the
Camilleri Trio,
commissioned by Jennifer
Hughes in memory of her
sister Gillian Nicholls,
also refers in the main
title, and in the last
movement title, to lines
from 'Song of Solomon':
the time of the singing
of birds is come - Song
of Solomon 2:12 Until the
day break, and the
shadows flee away - Song
of Solomon 2:17 A Time
for Singing was written
for the Camilleri Trio -
Alison Hughes
(clarinet/bass clarinet),
Anja Inge (cello), Joanne
Camilleri (piano). It was
first performed by them
at Mansfield Chapel,
Mansfield College,
Oxford, on 30 October
2011. ' - Ed Hughes
