Quietude: Penman, Satie, Debussy, Humperdinck, Bruckner; Alastair PenmanReviewed 9 April 2024A rather lovely disc that mixes Penman's own pieces with arrangements, all evoking stillness and calm allied to lovely tone and fine musicianshipSaxophonist Alastair Penman's latest release, Quietude is his second release on his Meadowbank Music label. The album features seven original compositions by Penman alongside eight new arrangements of well-known works ranging from Trois Gymnopédies by Erik Satie arranged for soprano saxophone and piano to Locus Iste by Anton Bruckner arranged for a choir of saxophones and clarinets, with Penman playing all the instruments, saxophones, clarinets, and keyboards.We open with Penman's 2021 piece Rialto, featuring six alto saxophones creating some ravishing close harmony.

Tickets HERE. Music Director Scott Metcalfe self-interviews. How did you first dive into the music of Okeghem and why did you want to perform all of his vocal music? What criteria did you employ to determine the authenticity and completeness? Okeghem has been an important part of Blue Heron’s repertoire since our very first season in 1999-2000, when we Sang a program featuring two of his four motets and a selection of his Mass settings. I always found his music wonderful (not to mention extraordinarily difficult), […]
