NEW COMPOSITION: TIME SONG
This new short composition has been commissioned by Manchester-based recorder virtuoso, John Turner, for a trio of musicians that also includes Nicholas Clapton (countertenor) and Jonathan Price (‘cello). The text is concerned with the notion of ‘unequal hours’ in both literal and experiential terms. The commission has been made possible with funds from the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust.
TIME SONG will be recorded in Manchester in September 2008 for inclusion on composer Elis Pehkonen’s new CD project, Song of Songs. Concert performances are planned for 2009.
GROUP
Hoofbeat Streetband is playing on Sunday 17th August (1-4pm) outside Mermaid’s Purse (Staithe Street) in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk. Refreshments available. Music free though ‘hat’ donations will be welcomed!
