A
wonderfully balanced and
yet contrasting set of
songs for baritone voice
and piano, inspired by
Sir John
Manduell’s
long-standing love of
French renaissance
verse.
In the
first, perhaps the most
often quoted of Ronsard's
poems, the poet invites
young Mignonne to come
and look at the purple
rose and to realise that
her beauty like the
rose's will fade all too
soon. Du Bellary's poem
is redolent of late
summer heat and haze as
the thresher of the title
calmly pursues his work.
The Marot is a brief
exercise in courteous
mockery as the poet
chides his ailing lady
upon her gastronomic
self-indulgence and warns
her of the inevitable
consequences upon her
figure.
Finally
published in 2013, Trois
Chansons is one of the of
the composer’s
earliest surviving works,
written while he was
studying with the late
Sir Lennox Berkely as a
postgraduate student at
the Royal Academy of
Music. The first
performance was given by
Beverley Humphreys at the
Royal Academy of Music in
1956.

Compose
d in 2012, the two pieces
in Sadie Harrison’s
Heartoutbursts! take
their inspiration from
traditional English folk.
' ...in the folk-song
there is to be found the
complete history of a
people, recorded by the
race itself, through the
heartoutbursts of its
healthiest output. It is
a history compiled with
deeper feeling and more
understanding than can be
found among the dates and
data of thegreatest
historian... '(Percy
Grainger 1922) In 1905,
Joseph Taylor won a
Lincolnshire folksong
competition with his
rendition of Brigg Fair ,
a song he had learnt from
a gypsy. Australian
composer Percy Grainger
subsequently published a
setting in his
Lincolnshire Posy , with
Delius usingthe tune in
his rhapsody, Brigg Fair
. Both composers sought
to vivify the tradition
of English folksong,
celebrating not only the
ancient tunes and words
but also the qualities of
particular folksingers
like Joseph Taylor.
Harrison’s own
Australian
Heartoutbursts! follow
unashamedly in the
Grainger tradition with
echoes of the original
folktunes underpinning
both songs Brigg Fair and
The Seeds of Love .
Although different in
character, both texts use
similar images as
analogies for the joys
and despairing associated
with love - the lark and
violet symbolize youth,
the lily as virginity,
the red rose as true
love, and the willow
representing falsehood
and abandonment.

In
her song-set for baritone
and piano A Swift
Radiant Morning,
Rhian Samuel, a noted
contemporary composer of
English song, has created
a portrait in words and
music of the young poet
Charles Hamilton Sorley
(1895-1915). Robert
Graves described Sorley's
death - at the Battle of
Loos - as among the three
most significant amongst
poets in the First World
War (the others being
Wilfred Owen and Isaac
Rosenberg). The five
songs are 'Rooks', 'The
Sounds of War', 'The
Signpost', 'In Memoriam',
and 'Earth's King'. The
composer offers in the
last song a celebration
of Sorley's life, and a
testament to his enduring
legacy. A Swift
Radiant Morning was
commissioned by the Three
Choirs Festival,
Hereford, 2015, for a
first performance by
Roderick Williams,
baritone, and Susie
Allan, piano, at Holy
Trinity Church, Hereford,
on 25 July 2015.
