World Premiere of Gavin Bryars's Evening-Length A Capella Work A Native HillGrammy-winning new-music choir The Crossing presents the world premiere of English composer Gavin Bryars's substantial new evening-length a cappella work, A Native Hill, on Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 5pm at The Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia, PA. The long-anticipated follow-up to Gavin Bryars's The Fifth Century, which won The Crossing its first Grammy award, A Native Hill sets texts by the American writer Wendell Berry from his 1968 essay of the same title offering meditations on how life can be experienced, with detailed descriptions of the minutiae of rural existence; where simple natural events reveal themselves as metaphors for universal truths.

Before christmas I told you that we were recording a cover of one of my favourite songs of all time. Now it is finally done and I can share the results with you! The song is called “Weighed Down With Sorrow” and is originally performed by the melodic death metal band Insomnium. I don’t know what it is about this song that captures me so completely, but I truly love it… the melancholy and sorrow, the interesting contrast between the harsh male vocals and the beautiful melodies. We did this cover as a part of this year’s guitar and song project, called “Renaissance and heavy metal – unplugged”.
