Cello Concerto in D minor (1997) Violante, doloroso 0:00 – Vivo 5:12 – Adagio 12:05 – Andante 16:56 – Vivo 20:39 – Moderato 24:17 – Largo 27:05 Anthony Ross, cello Albany Symphony Orchestra David Alan Miller, conductor George Walter Selwyn Lloyd (28 June 1913 – 3 July 1998) was a British composer. Born in St Ives, Cornwall, of part Welsh, part American ancestry, Lloyd grew up in a very musical family. LLoyd showed his talent as a composer early; he began composing at the age of 9, and began serious study at the age of 14. He was mainly educated at home because of rheumatic fever. He was trained in the dramatic aspects of opera by his father, who would regularly give him scenes from English plays to set to music, and he later studied violin with Albert Sammons and composition with Frank Kitson and Harry Farjeon. He was a student at Trinity College London. His first symphony, written at the age of 19, was premiered in 1932 by the Penzance Orchestral Society and was performed again in 1933 by the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra, with the composer conducting on both occasion. A second symphony had its premiere in 1935 and was soon followed by a third. George Lloyd and his father William, formed The New English Opera Company in 1935, with the intention of establishing a school of English opera. George Lloyd's first opera, Iernin, with a libretto by his father, was performed in 1934 in Penzance, before being transferred to the Lyceum Theatre, London, where it had an unusually long run. His second opera, The Serf, was staged by Vladimir Rosing at Covent Garden in 1938. Lloyd served in World War II with the Royal Marines as a Bandsman on board the cruiser HMS Trinidad on Arctic convoys. He was manning the transmitting station, situated deep in the hull of the ship, in 1942, during an engagement. The Trinidad fired a faulty torpedo which travelled in a circular track and hit the ship, fracturing a large fuel oil tank. Many of Lloyd's shipmates were drowned in the fuel oil, and he was the last man to escape from the compartment. He suffered severe mental and physical trauma from the shell shock, and was hospitalized before being discharged from the Royal Marines. After 4 years he was well enough to start composing again, through the devotion and love of his Swiss wife, Nancy. In 1946 he wrote two symphonies and the opera John Socman, the last commissioned for the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1952, he took up full-time residence in Dorset. For 20 years, in addition to intermittent composition, he was a market gardener and grew mushrooms and carnations. During this period he continued to write in a tonal, melodic style, contrary to the prevailing climate of modernist and avant garde styles, so he met with difficulties in obtaining performances of his music. In 1972 he sold his market garden business and moved to London to 'pick up the pieces of my musical life' as he put it, and began an extraordinary and productive Indian Summer. He was a very early adopter of digital technology, and established his own recording, production, publishing and distribution company, making 22 CD recordings in all. After his death he was 'Composer of the Week' on Radio 3, and the 2013 BBC Proms program includes performances of his Requiem and his H.M.S.Trinidad March for Orchestra on the Last Night of The Proms.

In this video I share my discovery of this seldom heard work, and offer some background to the composer and a brief overview of the Sonata. Full performance: (http•••) Be sure to check out these YouTube Channels: Beauty in Sound (http•••) Fraser Gartshore (http•••) Walter Battison Haynes (21 November 1859 – 16 February 1900) was an English pianist, organist and composer. Although he died at a young age, his influence on the development of the English Victorian organ style was significant. He made the pilgrimage to Leipzig and on his return became a Professor of Harmony and Composition at the Royal Academy of Music. He was highly sought after as a teacher, and two of his best known students were Charles Macpherson and Harry Farjeon. His Organ Sonata, Op. 11, is sweeping in scope, consisting of 4 movements which highlight his compositional skill, and any organ on which they are played! I chose to play this work on the Lavender Audio Sampleset of the Armley Schulze: it seemed fitting to play a work written in Germany by an Englishman, on a German organ in England! This sonata is not widely known, so I hope you will enjoy this: if you are an organ student, perhaps you will add it to your repertoire. Haynes definitely deserves to be heard by our modern audiences!

The score of this lovely Canon is published by Kevin Mayhew in "The Organist's Book of Really Useful Music" which has many other delights, and I highly recommend (http•••) Learn more about the composer and his epic sonata here: (http•••) This is recorded on the newly released Alessandria sampleset by Piotr Grabowski. Built in 2010, the instrument is a fantastic achievement by the Mascioni builders, and includes an incredible tuba stop with its own blower!

Farjeon 1881 1909 1929 1965 1996 2015 2020
The classic hymn "Morning has broken", to the tune "Bunessan" (traditional Gaelic melody), played by Peter Tylor on the 1909 Hele pipe organ at St Mewan Church near St Austell, Cornwall (NPOR D08358), 22/02/2020. Morning has broken Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them, springing Fresh from the Word! Sweet the rain’s new fall Sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall On the first grass. Praise for the sweetness Of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness Where his feet pass. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God’s re-creation Of the new day! (Words by Eleanor Farjeon, 1881-1965) As I was passing near St Mewan, with half an hour or so to spare, I decided to come in and record this well-known childhood favourite. The arrangement I use is by Colin Hand +••.••(...)), from "Hymns Old and New, New Anglican Edition" (Kevin Mayhew, 1996), but with some modifications of my own. #PipeOrgan #ChurchOrgan #Hymns #MorningHasBroken #Bunessan #EleanorFarjeon #ColinHand #GaelicMelody #ChildrensHymns #ChurchMusic #ChristianMusic #StMewan #StMewanChurch #PeterTylor
