Sara
h Baker is Vocal Composer
in Residence at Education
Music Services, an ABRSM
examiner and a well known
composer of songs and
musicals for primary
schools and massed-choral
events.
All this
experience has come
together in the creation
of this first published
album of piano pieces,
inspired by the sounds
heard at night from the
woodland just beyond
Sarah’s childhood
home.
Suitable for
players of around grade
4-5 standard, her
evocative sound pieces
begin at the tranquillity
of dusk and end with the
exuberant dawn
chorus.
The
composer
writes:
'I grew up
with woods behind my
house, and the nocturnal
noises and images that I
remember were the
inspiration for these
eight short sound
pictures on the theme of
night. The music moves
first from the
tranquility of dusk and
evening mists, to the
emerging starlight of
twilight. As night falls
it takes on on a darker
quality with shadows and
dreams disturbing peace
and calm.The night birds
and bats swoop and flit
past as they seek their
prey, but gradually dawn
approaches and peaceful
sleep is restored. The
morning is heralded in
the joyful exuberance of
the dawn chorus.'.

The
three movements that make
up Nocturnes, Book I are
programmatic pieces that
take as their points of
departure a painting, the
rhythms of a great city,
and a poem. 1. The Starry
Night is a written down
improvisation based on
Vincent van Goghs famous
picture of the same name.
The tonal material is a
quite literal
transformation of the
visual elements of the
painting: the melismatic
cadenzas mirror van Goghs
swirling starlight, and
the powerful chords were
suggested by the sinister
trees that shoot upward
to puncture the skys
patterns. 2. Stovers Rag
is a product of the
ragtime revival of the
early 1970s, when many
composers tried their
hand at writing concert
rags. The New York night,
which was not without its
sinister element in those
days, is expressed in an
updating of the classic
ragtime format. The piece
looks backward as well,
with the old French
Baroque basse de
trompette making an
appearance in the trio
section. 3. The Song of
Shadows taps the
nostalgic mood typical of
the poetry of Walter de
la Mare. The poem of the
same name pictures a lone
musician on a winter
night, an dog sleeping
before a sinking fire,
and, at the end, the
spirits that are summoned
by music. The opening
melody, played on an 8
flute with tremulant,
suggests the blues-tinged
sound of an alto
saxophone, and throughout
the movement the organs
capacity for sustained
tone is used to suggest
and atmosphere of dreamy
timelessness. The pieces
were written in 1971 and
first performed on July
2, 1972 at the National
Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington,
DC, with the composer at
the console.
