Renowned for his outstanding piano miniatures and solo songs, John Ireland is little known these days as a composer of partsongs. His deep understanding of choral forces brings a unique polish and artistry to the genre, his early style reflecting a deference to his masters Parry and Stanford, and deeply moving post-war masterpieces such as Twilight Night exploiting a more acerbic harmonic vocabulary. E.J. Moeran's inclination towards introspective melancholy blends with his knowledge of Elizabethan madrigal and renaissance dance, resulting in true gems on themes of love such as While she lies sleeping.
The Carice Singers are an ensemble comprised of some of the United Kingdom's best young professional singers, noted for their 'freshness of tone' and 'careful musicality' (Gramophone). Named after the daughter of Sir Edward Elgar, the choir aims to bring an imaginative approach to choral music of the Romantic period and beyond, frequently drawing upon the latest academic research to produce original and insightful programmes. Among The Carice Singers' ongoing projects is a mini-series of recordings for Naxos featuring choral music by lesser-known British composers, including Warlock, E.J. Moeran and Bax.
„The plethora of outstanding young English professional singers has created a host of fine chamber choral groups, The Carice Singers being one of the most recent. For many years John Ireland was a church organist in London where he became familiar with partsongs, and though his output in the genre was limited, the disc’s contents show him to have been active in this field through his long life. In creating the many and varied moods, he used a wide-ranging group of famous British poets spread over four centuries. Ireland was then to become the mentor of Ernest John Moeran in whom he awakened a love of song, though it was to be Moeran’s friend, the composer Peter Warlock, who introduced him to the Elizabethan and Jacobean era. It was from there that the idea for the disc’s most extended work, Phyllida and Corydon, was born. In nine sections, containing Madrigals, Airs and Pastorals, it relates the feelings of the lovelorn young couple of the title. Moeran also coupled seven songs under the title Songs of Springtime, the music, employing harmonies more adventurous than Ireland, and ideally reflecting the nature of the poems. In summary, the coupling is well chosen and hugely desirable, the twenty members of Carice, and their conductor, George Parris, obviously very much attuned to both composers. …the young group produce a beautiful sound, the Oxford church providing a nice warming acoustic. Words are printed in the booklet, though the diction is excellent.“ (David’s Review Corner)
