Orchestral, vocal and chamber works: A Hymn to the Thames, Fantasy Pieces, Suite for Violin and Piano and ‘Time and The Seasons’, provide a varied presentation of one of England’s most respected composers. Artists on this album include Roderick Williams (baritone), James Turnbull (oboe), Madeleine Mitchell (violin), Clare Hammond & Andrew West (pianos), The Fidelio Trio, and St Paul’s Sinfonia conducted by Andrew Morley.
The four works on the recording were written between 2013 and 2019. They represent a continuing journey addressing a modal/harmonic goal-orientated narrative. The earliest, Time and the Seasons, for baritone and piano, commissioned by the Oxford Lieder Festival for Roderick Williams and Andrew West, is a song cycle to Saxton’s own texts relating to the Norfolk coast where he spent much of his childhood and, as the title implies, is both cyclic and progressive. Suite for violin and piano, first performed at the 2019 Three Choirs Festival by Madeleine Mitchell and Clare Hammond, charts a voyage across its five movements leading to a tentatively positive conclusion. Fantasy Pieces, commissioned by the Fidelio Trio, while not using material of Robert Schumann, has his Op. 88 as character pieces in mind, regarding both genre and variety of manner. A Hymn to the Thames for solo oboe and chamber orchestra was commissioned by James Turnbull, the St Paul’s Sinfonia and its Music Director Andrew Morley and, during the course of its four linked movements, sets the soloist as both wanderer and river spirit in conjunction with the ‘river’ of the orchestra from source to sea.
