Descrição

Predominantly hushed and serene, Plainsongs for Peace and Light proved to be Jonathan Harvey’s final work. It sees Harvey re-examining the very fundamentals of his craft – superimposing lines of plainsong, relishing the simple clash of note againstnote and creating rich, otherworldly sonorities through an elaborate use of canon. Harvey was a composer who always embraced and sought-out the very latest in musical technologies but the simplicity of the a cappella choir became something of aconstant to which he returned throughout his life. Writing in Tempo, Paul Conway noted this work’s ‘understated but extremely affecting, numinous power’. The piece is for mixed voices of SATB in 16 parts.
