Benedictus
By Clare Maclean

Part of the Osanna Mass which is based on the set of plainchants for the Mass, Kyriale IX and several Jewish liturgical melodies. The Benedictus incorporates a Jewish melody for the Aleinu prayer (a hymn of praise) and melodies derived from the song of several birds local to Sydney, including the magpie, blackbird and currawong. The Mass won the Australian Art Music award for vocal/choral composition in 2012.
The Osanna Mass was written for the Sydney Chamber Choir, conducted by Paul Stanhope and recorded by Tall Poppies (TP219). Audio sample from the CD Osanna, used with permission.

Birch Tree, The
By Diana Weston, Thoroughbass
Regular price
$25.00
The theme of this recording is music inspired by folkmusic. Diana Weston (harpsichord) and the ensemble Thoroughbass have recorded this wonderful collection of tunes by composers such as, Mary Mageau, Béla Bartók, May Howlett, Ann Carr-Boyd and Elena Kats-Chernin.Folk melody and rhythm can be found permeating works from all centuries and genres up to the present. For the French of the 17th and 18th centuries, it formed the backbone of a national style, albeit one with a sophisticated overlay (the dance suite). For some composers, like Bartók, folkmusic became the stuff of their compositional voice. For others like Ann Carr-Boyd, adaptation of folksong was a way of approaching a wide variety of audiences of different ethnic backgrounds. Her new composition, Suite for Diana, follows this trend, as does Elena Kats-Chernin’s The Birch Tree, both composed for Thoroughbass in 2014 and recorded here for the first time. Thematically overlapping Bartók’s miniature pieces ‘For Children’ (arguably ‘about’ children as much as ‘for’ children) are four songs for children by May Howlett. Both composers recognize the complexity of childhood in music that is expressive and authentic, innocent and above all, fun.
