Vern
on Park,
Stockport’s oldest
park, was created on land
donated by Lord Vernon
(George John Warren). It
was built by poor mill
workers who called it
pinch-belly park and
opened on 20th September
1858. Comprising
twenty-one acres, it
houses a museum, a
bandstand, ornamental
fountains, a fernery,
rockery, borders and
sunken rose garden as
well terraced walkways
that overlook the river
and weir. The piece
depicts a solitary walker
engrossed in his own
thoughts on a
winter’s day, the
landscape, and the
park’s Victorian
past.
At the very
end of the piece a
reminder of the
park’s Victorian
origins can be detected
in a quote from
Elgar’s Salut
d’amour of 1899,
which may well have been
played by a band in the
bandstand. Stockport
market celebrated its
750th anniversary in
2010. It dated back to
September 1260 when a
Royal Charter allowed
Robert de Stokeport, the
Mayor, to hold a weekly
market within the
defensive walls of the
Norman Castle on the
present site of Castle
Yard.
The Glass
Umbrella was a popular
name given to the 1861
covered market built of
timber, glass and iron -
nine bays with open sides
and a glass canopy. In
1912, one bay was removed
to enable electric trams
and trolley buses to turn
a sharp
corner.
The piece
depicts a lively market
day, the multiculturalism
of the present day and
the old cries of pick and
pay without delay. The
bells of St Mary’s
Church are depicted by a
cascading peel tuned to
the ten bells of the
church tower, and a
fleeting reference to
John Wainwright’s
famous Christmas hymn
Christians Awake, and the
Westminster chimes
striking the hour from St
Mary’s, bring to
piece to a conclusion.
Separate parts are
provided for recorder and
oboe.

The
opening movement is a
free fantasia,
contrasting with the
middle movement, a
scherzetto, in homage to,
and based on the letters
of the name of, the
composer Douglas Steele,
an assistant to Sir
Thomas Beecham and a
founding father of
Chethams School, and
which quotes from
Steele’s beautiful
carol The Snow
Falls. Divertimento
was first performed by
John Turner and Janet
Simpson at a concert in
aid of the Peter
Cunningham Memorial Fund
at Mellor Church on 17th
January 2005. It uses
both treble and descant
instruments. The second
movement was originally
composed for a concert in
Manchester Cathedral in
memory of Douglas Steele,
one of the founding
fathers of Chetham's
School, and quotes (by
kind permission of
Forsyth Brothers Ltd.),
from his well-known carol
The Snow Falls. It has
been separately recorded
by John Turner and
Stephen Hough on Autumn
Sequence – the
music of Douglas Steele
and his Circle (Campion
Cameo 2040/41). Martin
Bussey was born in London
in 1958. He was a Choral
Scholar at King’s
College, Cambridge,
during which time he
studied composition with
Robin Holloway. Following
postgraduate singing
study at the RNCM he
settled in Manchester and
held a number of posts,
including Head of
Academic Music and
Director of Choirs at
Chetham’s School
of Music until 2013. He
continues as Musical
Director of the Chester
Bach Singers, a Vocal
Tutor at Manchester
University, Chairman of
the Finzi Friends and a
Director of the Ludlow
Song Weekend.
Compositions include the
highly successful
monodrama about Mary I,
Mary’s Hand,
premiered in 2018; a
significant collection of
solo songs which includes
settings of Housman,
Hardy, and Walt Whitman,
many recorded on the disc
Through a glass; and much
choral music, recorded by
Sonoro under Neil Ferris
in 2019.
