Lyell Cresswell (1944)
Cresswell was born in Wellington, New Zealand. He has studied composition in Wellington,
Toronto, Aberdeen and Utrecht. After some teaching at Glasgow University he joined Chapter
Arts Centre, Cardiff as Music Organiser (1978-80). He returned to Scotland as Forman Fellow
in Composition at Edinburgh University until 1982 and spent the next three years as Cramb
Fellow in Composition at Glasgow University. In 1978 he won the Ian Whyte Award for
the Orchestral work Salm, and in 1979 received the APRA Silver Scroll for his contribution
to New Zealand music. His works have been recommended by the UNESCO International
Rostrum of Composition in 1979, 1981 and 1988. Since 1985 he has been a full-time
composer based in Edinburgh.
His music has been described as having “something quite magical about it” (The Times). “It is
common sport to listen to new or recent music and spot strands woven from the past. With
Cresswell it is quite impossible to do so, because his work is entirely his own” (The Scotsman).
“Cresswell, like Xenakis, is a musical one-off” (The Independent).
The Belly of the Whale (1997)
Well within the technical abilities of many amateur and semi-professional choirs, Cresswell’s
The Belly of the Whale is a song about freedom and deliverance through the medium of its
spiritual text. Initially spare and searching, in its second, faster section Cresswell adds a dose
of contemporary harmony to the gospel tradition, at once oblique, unsettling and rousing.
The text of this fervent spiritual has undergone many changes during its passage from
generation to generation and place to place, existing in many versions. The figures of Jonah,
Daniel and Noah symbolise freedom and deliverance from slavery.
PE024 – iii

Jonah prayed from the fish’s belly
Amen
Save me from sin’s rolling billows
Amen
Daniel prayed from the lion’s jaws
Amen
Save me from sin’s stinking sores
Amen
Noah prayed from the raging flood
Amen
Save us by thy precious blood
Amen
Daniel in the den
Noah in the ark
Jonah in the belly of the whale
He locked the lion’s jaw
Gave the rainbow sign
Threw up Jonah on the dry land
The Belly of the Whale was written as a gift for John Currie and the John Currie Singers, who
gave its premiere performance in Glasgow on 20 February 1997.
