available for sale February 1, 2020 Shadow and Light are two sides of
the same coin, neither possible without the other. This program sets
Vaughan Williams’ wistful depictions of the idyll and challenge of
country life in Shropshire against Stanhope’s poignant song-cycle of
poems by Oodgeroo Noonuccal, which portray mourning and loss in an
Australian landscape. The timbres of On Wenlock Edge are traditional,
with tenor voice, strings and piano. Songs for the Shadowland features
wind instruments, with the horn performing a wailing farewell to those
lost and simultaneously to welcome a new day. Framing these
extraordinary works are two of Beethoven’s chamber works. The first
is Haydn-esque, an early work and full of the light and shade of
Classicism, and the second belongs to the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets in
which Beethoven’s fearless originality is clearly apparent.
