Thre
e Imaginary Folksongs was
requested by the Concerts
Society of Liverpool
Metropolitan Cathedral
for their concert season
celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the
opening of the Cathedral.
The composer was asked
specifically for a work
which would highlight the
much-admired talents of
the principal clarinet,
Jacqueline Thomas. The
title is unambiguous.
Taking three different
approaches, each of which
has a modal starting
point, the three
‘folksongs’
from imaginary places,
were developed in styles
which reflect the work of
earlier folksong-inspired
composers. The first
performance took place at
Liverpool Metropolitan
Cathedral at a concert
that not only celebrated
the Cathedral’s
50th birthday, but also
Stephen’s
70th.
