Thinking I Hear Thee Call

Thinking I Hear Thee Call

Thinking I Hear Thee Call by Cheryl Frances-Hoad is inspired by the life of Florence Attridge, an Essex woman who, whilst working at the Marconi factory in Chelmsford during WWII, helped to make secret radio sets for spies. In this piece for soprano, speaker and electronics, we hear Florence recount her experiences, whilst, in another, secret location, in another time, a spy goes through the radio's (complicated!) set up instructions one last time before going on their first reconnaissance mission. The electronic element takes sounds that are associated with Florence's life and the history of Marconi, including morse code and "Absent", the first song to be broadcast from the factory. The text for Florence's part was written by Frances M Lynch based on research by Patricia Fara, and the speakers text comes from the official manual for the British Type 3 Mark II Spy Radio. Watch the video The performers from electric voice theater are:- Frances M Lynch - Soprano (Florence Attridge) Margaret Cameron - Speaker (Spy). The performers recorded their parts individually in their homes and the final work was combined with the composer's electronic track and produced by Frances M Lynch & Herbie Clarke at Birnam Studios, London. The work was commissioned by electric voice theater and first performed online during the Covid-19 Pandemic, Aug 24th 2020 as part of the 'Echoes from Essex'. The project was supported by the Arts Council Emergency Response Fund (National Lottery).

Shady Groove : and other Songs from the Appalachian Mountains

Shady Groove : and other Songs from the Appalachian Mountains

This set of short pieces for piano solo is based on folksongs from the Appalachian Mountains. This music originated in the British Isles as unaccompanied ballads. The tunes were brought to the United States. As time passed, instruments were added zither, banjo and, eventually, guitar. The guitar versions have become well-known “standards” of the American folk repertoire. Common traits of these songs are the modal/diatonic harmonies. The “refinement” of European chromaticism is absent. Rootposition chords and consonant sonorities are prevalent. A special challenge in creating piano arrangements has been to inject occasional “appropriate” dissonances to enliven the harmonies. In addition, the strophic, ballad style of the songs, whichrelies upon storytelling to maintain the dramatic interest, must now be replaced by musical variation and development. The intent has been to create new piano repertoire within the “folk spirit” rough hewn, straightforward, energetic and beautiful.Shady Grove is a popular 18th-century American folksong with many versions of the lyrics. The title may refer to a beloved woman, or to a place where the speaker is traveling. [“Going to Shade Grove...”] However, the energetic music itself iswell-defined, and memorable. This new interpretation for piano includes a slowly-unfolding introduction before the arrival of the theme, and a contrasting, ascending interlude section. The third verse is presented in a slow, rhapsodic manner, toallow time for reflection. The lively theme then returns, ending with strumming the strings inside the piano, in Appalachian zither-playing style.
