Apartment House at the church of St Giles Cripplegate
Kate Molleson introduces the latest sounds including a sequence of gems played by Apartment at one of London's mediaeval churches and a performance of Lisa Streich's Augenlider.
Kate Molleson presents some of the latest sounds in new music from across the globe.
Pianist Eliza McCarthy rejoices in Gabriella Smith's Imaginary Pancake and the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra plays Swedish composer Lisa Streich's Augenlider for prepared guitar and orchestra, a work that has quickly established itself as a modern classic. And there's a chance to revisit the late P茅ter E枚tv枚s's Mese, a classic work for electronics realised in the studios of WDR and structured on a recording of a Hungarian folk tale played at various speeds.
And threaded thorough this Christmas edition is a programme recorded at the medieval church of St Giles' Cripplegate in London: Apartment House present a typically wide-ranging sequence of music including the premieres of Marco Baldini's Quartetto along with Jem Finer's Hrdy-Grdy and music inspired by the Baroque violin master, Biaggio Marini. And as a coda there's the mysterious Slovakian composer Martin Burlas's brief Koda, music that oscillates between the classical and lo-fi popism.
Also tonight Colin Riley launches The Year's Midnight - a setting of John Donne's poem about the Winter Solstice. This is the first song in his year-long project called The Year Round, which he says is "a celebration of too-easily unnoticed things. A deep connection that we cannot afford to lose.'
