Composer Harry Baker talks about his new work 'Vigilate' (for voices, flute & tenor saxophone), commissioned by Corvus Consort as part of "Byrd Takes Flight".
Summer 2024 mini-tour: corvusconsort....
“Byrd Takes Flight” sees vibrant vocal ensemble Corvus Consort join forces with instrumental duo Music on the Edge to present a groundbreaking convergence of old and new, where voices and instruments intertwine to create a timeless blend of soundworlds spanning centuries.
Commemorating 400 years since the death of William Byrd in 1623, four newly-commissioned works explore the enduring strength of Byrd’s influence, which stretches right through to the 21st century. Each new commission is a response to a particular work by Byrd, placing Byrd’s musical voice in direct dialogue with the voices of some of today’s most exciting young composers.
"Byrd Takes Flight" was premiered at the Whiddon Autumn Festival in Devon on Wednesday 13th September 2023: www.whiddonaut...
