A Voyage Through an Extraordinary Lost Treasure – Heavenly Light

Thursday, November 28, 2024 • Duration 49:41

Join CRD Director Emma Pauncefort, the conductor of the emerging British group Selene consort Daniel Gilchrist and musicologist Russell Blacker for a fascinating exploration of bringing works from the Eton Choirbook, a treasure trove of early English choral music, back to life.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the history of the choirbook, its unique features, the challenges of reconstructing its missing parts and the joy (and challenges!) of performing such intricate music.

Key Points:

The Eton Choirbook: Eton College, a royal institution founded by King Henry VI, was the birthplace of the choirbook, a highly valued resource that featured lavish illuminations.
Missing Parts: About a third of the choirbook is lost, and some pieces have incomplete sections.
Reconstruction: Russell Blacker has dedicated years to reconstructing these lost works, using his expertise in music history and composition.
Selene Choir: A young, vibrant choir, they were chosen by Dr. Blacker to record the reconstructed Eton Choirbook repertoire.
The Why Now: The project is a response to a renewed interest in early music and the desire to bring these hidden gems to a wider audience.
Challenges: The music is complex, with multiple voice parts and long, demanding melodic lines.
The Joy of Reconstruction: Dr. Blacker shares his experiences and the challenges he faced in reconstructing the missing parts of the choirbook.
Highlights:

The 'Magnificat', a six-part work by Wylkynson, is considered the jewel of the crown.
The 'O Virgo Prudentissima', another Wylkynson piece, is unique in that it uses two simultaneous plainchants.
The jubilant style of English singing is highlighted in the works of 'Wylkynson' and others.

Exploring Musical Landscapes: A Journey with Pete Judge

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 • Duration 43:17

Emma Pauncefort sits in conversation with Pete Judge, trumpeter-composer-turned-pianist, about his latest project ‘Piano 3’ which ties together music and landscapes.

Pete shares the inspiration behind his compositions, highlighting the influence of the likes of C20th composer Gerald Finzi and the impact of nature and seasonal changes. We discuss his connection to the environments of Southern Britain and his bid to advocate for broader environmental concerns in his music as he seeks to replicate the extraordinary minimalist repetitions we see around us.

Our discussion explores the coexistence of stillness and movement in Pete’s work and his personal journey of transforming improvisations into fixed compositions.

He also shares his experience of recording at St George's in Bristol, England versus ‘solo’ performances and how he always works in dialogue with the space.

Imagique Unveiled: Modern Sounds in Classical Music with Iwo & Karolina

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 • Duration 23:45

Emma Pauncefort, Director of CRD Records, checks in with classical accordionist Iwo Jedynecki and violinist Karolina Mikolajczyk about their innovative 'CRD debut' album 'Imagique'.

Speaking virtually in the midst of Iwo and Karolina's busy autumn 2024 tour, we discuss their journey over the past decade playing together and transcribing works from various musical eras, blending violin and accordion whilst modernising some of their favourite classical pieces.

Iwo and Karolina share insights on their artistic process, technical challenges, and emotional connections to composers ranging from Chopin, Ravel, Saint Saëns and not to forget Penderecki, for whom they had the privilege to play their version of his violin sonata.

'Imagique' is just the start...

We also explore upcoming performances, including a premiere at the National Gallery of Art in DC with their new programme 'Paris 1874'. For Iwo and Karolina this is part of their lifelong goal to bring classical music to life for both the listener turning to classical to chill out and for those whose passion is this pinnacle of musical art.
