Research output: Contributions to conferencesPaper

Details

Four authors discuss four compositions composed in recent years which feature in the conference concert on Saturday May 4, from diverse points of view: historical, aesthetic, music-theoretical, political and other perspectives. Authors will refer to other work in musicology in which they are engaged, pointing to the extent and limits of common ground between scholarship, historical change and moving perspectives, and the dominant paradigms of current times. Their remarks will also reference other works on the programme, including items from the Office of St Kentigern and the Threepart Mass of Robert Carver, as well as the Piano Sonata by James Macmillan. Input from the some of the performers will be included in the discussion; these will be (amongst others) organist Kevin Bowyer, pianist Anne Robertson, harpist Sharron Griffiths and the four singers of the Scottish Voices ensemble.
