FADING
The Gesualdo Six • Owain Park
Evoking a contemplative atmosphere with music inspired by the ancient service of compline. Since the fourth century, the service of Compline has marked the end of the day, ushering in the darkness of the night. Much of the music here is inspired by this ancient service, evoking a contemplative atmosphere, including renaissance polyphony by Lobo, Sheppard and Gesualdo that contains startling harmonic shifts and expressive word painting. Then there is a turning point; the light returns, birds sing, and flowers bloom once more, with contemporary reflections by Veljo Tormis, Joanna Marsh, and Sarah Rimkus.
“Their sound seemed to float in mid-air before reaching the ears of the rapt audience... every line, every gorgeous texture was radiantly clear.” -The Times
