Authors’ note

Mary, Mother is a sequence of six carols that articulates the role of Mary in the Christmas story, very much

from the human perspective. The author, Georgia Way, has written new, warm, and thoughtful texts that she

introduces here:

These six carol texts came into being on the premise that Mary might be one of the best-known figures in the Christian

world, but she might also be one of the least understood. Could the serene image of the Mother of God have become

distant to us through her familiarity?

The challenge, then, was to find a way to make Mary’s experiences, as a human woman, emotionally relevant to

audiences today. This is perhaps why the sycamore tree became a central image. In the Bible, Ficus sycomorus is a way

to see further, a way to see Jesus as he approaches. For me, this reflects one of the roles that music plays in our lives:

a way to see further into emotional and spiritual truth.

If the sycamore casts a note of doubt, of instability, into Mary’s emerging adulthood in the first of these six carols, then

the remaining five work to resolve that instability. It is fitting to me that the sycamore should return in the final carol,

a hymn to the regenerative power of the human spirit.

The carols that make up Mary, Mother can be performed individually or as a set. The accompaniment

in this vocal score is designed to be played on the piano. The work was conceived with organ and harp

accompaniment, and a full score and parts for this version are available for digital download.

Mary, Mother was written for St Martin’s Voices and their Director, Andrew Earis, who gave the first

performance at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, on 18 December 2022.

The Ice is Listening


11

Composer’s note

Finding that good starting point for any commission is an exciting process and Henley Choral Society’s

suggestion of creating a cantata about the River Thames provided a wonderful way in to a rich reservoir of

ideas. My thoughts turned to ice. We live in times when ice is increasingly under threat, causing sea levels to

rise and rivers to surge. I thought of times past, when frost fairs were not uncommon, occurring intermittently

up to 1814. And then my thoughts turned to the future, and how scarce it seems ice might become.

Kate Wakeling has created a rich text for this work. Her poetry conveys the colour and vibrancy of the frost

fairs on the Thames alongside a deep insight into how the ice is shifting and diminishing; her text shows us

how things once were, how they are now, and how they might be. This is not a cantata about ‘winter’; rather,

it is a cantata for all time, a reminder that ice is a precious resource, something to treasure.

Of the first movement, ‘Solid Waters’, Kate writes:

The text is drawn from a wonderful seventeenth-century manuscript that I found in the Old Library of

Magdalen College, Oxford. Written by an anonymous source, An Historical Account of the Late Great

Frost (1684) describes in marvellous detail the Frost Fair of 1683–4, when the Thames froze solid and

all manner of ‘Roasting, Boyling, Eating, Drinking [and] Rejoycing’ took place on its surface.

The movement opens with great activity as ‘people began to walk upon the ice’ and repeated patterns on

‘weather’ represent chattering teeth. This spirited, vivacious mood is countered by more thoughtful moments;

away from the clamour and bustle on the ice there is another world—one of quietness, cold, and hunger.

I feel the second movement will bring an air of regret and loss; it is a lament for the ice we have now but, one

day, we may have no more. Kate writes:

The text for this movement, ‘The ice is listening’, takes as its starting point a quote from the climate

scientist Josh Willis—‘When the ocean speaks, the Greenland Ice Sheet listens’—and explores the

impending loss of this ice sheet, paying close attention to the extraordinary amount of ‘history’ locked

in the deepest ice here that will so swiftly vanish into air.

The choir is joined by a soprano soloist singing of the ice which ‘has borne time without complaint’. But now

water challenges the integrity of ice which ‘is pressed at last to speak’. The chorus supports the soloist, perhaps

in the fashion of a Greek chorus commenting on the unfolding of a tragedy.

Of the text in the third movement, Kate writes:

‘Moulin’ expresses something of the dynamism of these strange, magnificent waterfalls within the ice,

and seeks to conjure up both their beauty and the threat they pose.

This movement presses on relentlessly, rather in the manner of a perpetuum mobile. Kate’s poetry brings

colour to this icy propulsion and I have made play with the words ‘dizzy’ and ‘dazzle’ as if they fall downwards

into a watery chasm or ‘moulin’ below. Often there is an expectation that a work of this kind might bring

a note of optimism in its final moments but I feel we face such an uncertain future that it seems more in

keeping to offer something quieter, more contemplative, perhaps even a little unsettling.

4. Stealing Fire 27

5. Song of the Stars 40

Composer’s note

She Sang the Stars tells stories inspired by three women characters from the Finnish epic poem the Kalevala.

In movement 1, ‘Start off Singing’, a storyteller sets the stage and prepares to share a tale that has long been

hidden in the cold. Movement 2 tells the story of young Ilmatar, ‘Water-Mother’, who steps down from

the sky to the sea and is impregnated by a tempest. She carries her child for centuries before giving birth.

‘She Ran’, movement 3, follows Lempi as she relentlessly searches for her lost son. She tracks him as a wolf,

swims through rivers as an otter, and even asks the trees if they have seen her ‘staff of silver’, her precious

child. In movement 4, ‘Stealing Fire’, wise and powerful witch Louhi demonstrates her command of the

elements and uses all magic available to her to seek justice against those who have wronged her. Often seen as

the main villain of the Kalevala, here she is revered as a strong and powerful matriarch. The final movement,

‘Song of the Stars’, is without text and honours the presence of the stars, particularly Ursa Major (Great Bear),

referenced throughout the Kalevala. All-knowing and all-seeing, the stars shone well before these tales were

told and will remain long after the story is done.

While the seeds inspiring other works in my catalogue may be traced to a poem, event, or landscape, the

heart of this work grew from the collaborative relationship developed with the commissioning ensemble.

I dedicate this work, with warmest thanks, to Kerra Simmons, Artistic Director, and all the choristers in

Composer’s note

The work’s title comes from Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida—‘One touch of nature makes the

whole world kin.’ There are two main themes in this piece: our fractured relationship with the

natural world and nature’s powerful ability to renew itself.

Nature, given the chance, can effect remarkable transformation of a degraded landscape and restore

ecological balance. We have seen examples of this in the many ‘re-wilding’ projects that have

occurred in recent years and, indeed, in the coming of spring which, each year, transforms a bleak

world into one teeming with life. This natural renewal has inspired poets for centuries.

The work’s opening lines—‘The sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing’—is from

John Keats’ famous poem La Belle Dame sans Merci. An empty, apparently dead landscape is evoked.

This theme is continued in A. C. Swinburne’s By the North Sea where, with remarkable foresight,

the poet rails against the ‘dumb waste world’. This dark feeling continues in movement two,

‘No light is in heaven’, depicting a world where a brief period of daylight is swiftly overcome by

night. A familiar feeling to those of us who experience winter in Northern climes.

In researching texts for this piece I came across the work of John Burroughs (1837–1921),

a pioneering US naturalist and essay writer. He recognised the importance of man’s connection

with nature and felt that, in our mainly urban society, we had lost touch with the wildness of the

natural world, and in so doing had lost an important part of our souls. His dying words were

‘How far are we from home?’—a poignant enough question in many circumstances. This forms the

basis of the text for the next section of the piece. The questions continue in the poem Sail Away

by Rabindranath Tagore, which asks ‘Is the time not come yet? Are there works still to do?’.

The coming of spring is celebrated in the fourth movement with the joyful words ‘rise up, my fair

one, and come away, for the winter is past and the rains are over’, from the Song of Solomon. I then

return to the words of John Burroughs: ‘I go to nature to have my senses put in order’.

Lord Byron’s famous poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage perfectly captures the exhilaration of

connecting with a wild landscape: ‘There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on

the lonely shore.’ A sense of oneness with nature carries through to the work’s final section. Tagore

describes taking a boat on a voyage with no particular purpose, simply to be at one with the sea

‘in that shoreless ocean.’

The piece ends with a reprise of the questions, finally asking again ‘How far are we from home?’.

Composer’s note

Sŭnāō is a set of three pieces designed to introduce young choirs to the Hindi/Urdu language. The word

‘sŭnāō’ translates as ‘have me listen’, but is closer in meaning to ‘tell me’ or ‘sing for me’. The first song, ‘Āō’,

invites us to share our musical traditions with one another, exploring changing open vowels and featuring a

two-part canon in its central section. ‘Khaar paar’ uses a distinctive style of onomatopoeia to describe how

we sometimes let our thoughts run out of control. Opening with a whispered section, it has a high rhythmic

energy and continual sense of drive. By contrast, the gently flowing ‘Behtā jā’ encourages us not to be too

hard on ourselves, contrasting dark and light within a soft dynamic palette. Each piece is designed to teach

linguistic concepts of Hindi and musical concepts of Hindustani music, while reminding us to approach new

ideas from a place of curiosity rather than of judgement.

This note may be reproduced as required for programme notes.

Duration: c.11 minutes

Sŭnāō is also available in versions for SAB and piano (ISBN 978–0–19–357695–7) and SSAA and piano

REQUIEM

COMPOSER’S NOTE

The original inspiration for my Requiem was to combine the hieratic, grave objectivity of

the great Iberian Requiems with something more personal, intimate even, so as to reflect

the individual as well as the universal experience of loss. To this end I have replaced alternate

movements of the Latin Mass for the Dead with funereal poems from other cultures

and spiritual traditions. The interesting thing about these very different meditations on

the meaning of human mortality—by the Buddhist Rabindranath Tagore, the Quaker

Walt Whitman, Hôjô Ujimasa the Samurai, the Australian Aboriginal poet Kevin

Gilbert, and the eighteenth-century Mohican Chief Aupumut—is that ultimately they all

express a similar view of death to the European Christian one: that it is not the end, but

the gateway to another life. The resulting sequence, full of images of light and the promise

of eternal life, is radiantly optimistic; this seems only right to me, as the purpose of

any Requiem setting is surely to heal, and to console the living.

Composer’s Introduction

It has always seemed a shame to me that A Christmas Carol didn’t have any Christmas carols in it. What

a profoundly moving story, with music in its title—but no actual music! So, when Matthew Guard first

approached me about collaborating on this project, I could hardly contain my enthusiasm. The time to correct

this particularly glaring oversight had come at last!

The carols in this piece come mostly from the English tradition. In ordering them as they appear here, and

placing them into Dickens’s oft-heard tale, I have endeavoured to imbue both the carols and the story with

a new sense of meaning. Thus, the tune of the enchantingly simple Welsh carol Poverty becomes a leitmotif

for Scrooge and his transformation: distant and distorted when it first appears in the counting-house;

fragmented, squeezed, and transformed over the course of the ghosts’ ministrations; and radiantly remade as

Scrooge joyfully reawakens to find himself alive—truly alive— on Christmas Day.

Other tunes appear and reappear, representing different characters: In dulci jubilo for the childlike yet ancient

Ghost of Christmas Past; The Boar’s Head Carol for the rich, gigantic, jovial Ghost of Christmas Present; and

the Gregorian chant Dies irae for the fearful spectre of the Future. Other pieces depict particular concepts:

It came upon the midnight clear, for example, stands as both a call to care for our fellow human beings

and a rebuke to those who habitually ignore this call. Finally, in the dramatic climax of the whole story,

The Spirits of all Three, where Scrooge is forced to confront his own miserable end, all these tunes merge one

upon the other to illustrate the transformative power of experience and the unpredictable journey towards

developing a truly merciful, mature, and loving heart.

While Scrooge’s story is central to A Christmas Carol, it would be remiss not to mention Tiny Tim.

Dickens reportedly saw him as the main character in his tale, with the plight of London’s 19th-century

poor the underlying theme of the story. I therefore paid special attention to Scrooge’s vision of the bereaved

Cratchit family. The music here is the haunting Coventry Carol, the text of which refers to the Slaughter of

the Innocents recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. In this arrangement, I bring together the 16th-century

English melody with a stark, spare, high, and dissonant texture woven throughout with a keening melody

for mezzo-soprano soloist. My goal was to summon the unthinkable—the experience of a parent losing a

child—and this piece proved to be one of the most emotionally difficult works I have composed.

Christmas means many things for many people. Some of these associations are profoundly joyful; some of

them are deeply painful; and some are a mixture of too many things to recount. However, one thing that is

certain about Christmas is that it will come around again each year, like a refrain, and we will each be given

the opportunity to create new associations. I offer my hope that my re-imagining of this strange ghost story

of sorrow, redemption, and joy forms a positive new association and, moreover, that it helps each of us to

become a little more alive—truly alive—to the world and to each other.

14. Not a Handsome Family

STAVE 3, Scene 2

Silent night

adap. and arr. BENEDICT SHEEHAN

As The Ghost rose, the room vanished instantly and they stood in the city streets on Christmas morning. There was an air of cheerfulness; the people

were jovial and full of glee.

[CHOIR BEGINS] The good Spirit led straight to Scrooge’s clerk’s; on the threshold of the door the Spirit smiled, and stopped to

bless Bob Cratchit’s dwelling with the sprinkling of his torch. Mrs Cratchit made the gravy hissing hot; Master Peter mashed the

potatoes with incredible vigour;

Miss Belinda sweetened up the apple-sauce; Martha dusted the hot plates; Bob took Tiny Tim beside him in a tiny corner at the table; Grace was

said. Bob said he didn’t believe there ever was such a goose.

They were not a handsome family; they were not well dressed; their shoes were far from being waterproof; their clothes were scanty. But, they

were happy, grateful, pleased with one another, and contented with the time.

When the dinner was all done, Mrs Cratchit entered—smiling proudly—with the pudding, like a speckled cannon-ball, blazing of ignited brandy,

and bedight with Christmas holly. Bob proposed: “A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!”

“God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim sat very close to his father’s side. Bob held his withered little hand in his, as if he wished to

keep him by his side, and dreaded that he might be taken from him.

“Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, “tell me if Tiny Tim will live.” “I see a vacant seat,” replied the Ghost. “No, no,

kind Spirit! say he will be spared.” “What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
