Louth Contemporary Music Society presents the world premiere performance of a fantastic new spiritual work MONK’S MUSIC by the Russian Composer ALEXANDER RASKATOV. Monk’s Music will be performed by the Carducci Quartet and Gordon Jones of the Hilliard Ensemble.The performance will take place on Friday 8 February 2013 in St. Nicholas’ Church of Ireland Dundalk (The Green Church).
Raskatov’s composition Monks Music is based on seven brief texts by the Russian Orthodox monk Elder (“Starets”) Silouan, who was described by Thomas Merton as the “most authentic monk of the 20th century”, and declared a saint in 1987. Loosely modelled on Hadyn’s Seven Last Words from the Cross, Raskatov has scored the work, by turns mystical and dramatic, for solo bass and string quartet. It was written in memoriam Alfred Schnittke.
Monk’s Music will be the first time the music of Alexander Raskatov has been presented in Ireland. The composer, fresh from his success with the opera A Dog’s Heart, a De Nederlandse Opera/ENO production, which will be presented in La Scala del Milano in March 2013 conducted by Valerie Gergiev, will come to Ireland for the premiere of his beautiful mystical work Monk’s Music.
Raskatov whom Alfred Schnittke once called “one of the most interesting composers of his generation” has received commissions for new works from Gidon Kremer, the Sabine Meyer Wind Ensemble, Netherlands Wind Ensemble, the Hilliard Ensemble and the Schoenberg Ensemble, among others. He received the composition prize of the Salzburg Easter Festival in 1998. Raskatov was born in Moscow in 1953 and finished his studies at Moscow Conservatory in 1978. In 1990 he joined the Russian Contemporary Music Association. His interests centre especially on vocal and instrumental chamber music and symphonic sonorities.
THE CARDUCCI QUARTET is recognised as one of today’s most successful young string quartets. Based in the UK, the quartet holds residencies at Cardiff University and Dean Close School and is visiting quartet in residence at Trinity Laban in London, Repton School and the Cork School of Music in Ireland. Regulars at London’s Wigmore Hall, they perform throughout the UK, including their own festival in Highnam, Glos.
Gordon Jones is a baritone, best known as a member of the world-class Hilliard Ensemble. As such he has divided his energies between the Medieval and Renaissance vocal masterworks – such as those of Ockeghem, Gesualdo, Frye, Perotin, Dufay, Lassus, Palestrina, Victoria, and Brumel – and the works of contemporary composers, as represented by Arvo Pärt, Gavin Bryars, Heinz Holliger, James MacMillan and Ivan Moody.

Trio Mediaeval
Presented by Music Network. Promoted by Louth Contemporary Music Society.
St. Nicholas Church of Ireland Dundalk
Friday 12 April 2013 at 8pm.
“If you could bottle the joie de vivre that comes from the members of Trio Mediaeval you could probably sell it not just as a pick-me-up, but as some form of basic life-force.” Michael Dervan, The Irish Times
Join vocal ensemble Trio Mediaeval as they take us on a journey from spine-tingling 13th-century singing/melodies and Scandinavian folk songs to contemporary works in the beautiful surroundings OF ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH OF IRELAND ( THE GREEN CHURCH), DUNDALK ON FRIDAY 12TH APRIL. Tickets priced €10 are available by calling 0818 205205 or online at www.centralticketbureau.com. Don’t miss these musicians whose extraordinary sound has been described as “beguiling”, “intoxicating” and “mesmerizing”. Ahead of the performance, Trio Mediaeval will also give a school’s workshop in St.Vincent’s Secondary School Dundalk.
Trio Mediaeval is a Norwegian ensemble that has captivated audiences worldwide with a songbook spanning medieval music, traditional Norwegian ballads and contemporary works. The three unique voices blend together with seamless and unnerving accuracy, but for all the hauntingly pure harmonies and vocal finesse, the trio deliver songs from a bygone era with a tenderness that melts away the centuries. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Singing doesn’t get more unnervingly beautiful…to hear the group’s note-perfect counterpoint – as pristine and inviting as clean, white linens – is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of.”
Founded in Oslo in 1997, the group’s first album, Words of the Angel, immediately reached Billboard’s Top 10 Bestseller list, while Folk Songs, an intimate collection of Norwegian folk songs, won a Grammy nomination in 2008. Trio Mediaeval’s latest recording, A Worcester Ladymass, was elected as one of the Best of New Releases 2011 by the German Record Critic’s Award (Preis der Deutchen Schallplattenkritik). While spreading the a capella gospel, the ensemble has performed in cathedrals, monasteries, farms, and industrial spaces as well as prestigious halls such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, London’s Wigmore Hall and the Vienna Konzerthaus.
This concert is promoted by Music Network and Louth Contemporary Music Society. Music Network tours provide a wonderful opportunity to see some of the world’s foremost musicians at affordable prices in venues around Ireland. This tour is presented in association with RTÉ lyric fm and the Norwegian Embassy. Music Network is funded by the Arts Council. Further information from (01) 671 9429 or www.musicnetwork.ie.

THE CULWICK CHORAL SOCIETY
Sinéad Campbell-Wallace, soprano
John Molloy, baritone
The Culwick Orchestra
Brona Fitzgerald, Leader
Bernie Sherlock, Conductor
The Culwick Choral Society is delighted to bring to the NCH their 120th anniversary concert performance of two great choral masterpieces: the jubilant Gloria by Francis Poulenc and the sublime German Requiem by Brahms. Unique among choral requiems for setting passages from the Bible rather than from Catholic liturgy, the Brahms Requiem enjoys an enduring popularity with audiences because of its real, spiritual power. Non-believers and believers alike readily connect to an underlining universal assertion in this great work, namely that it is the living rather than the dead who stand in need of consolation. Conductor Bernie Sherlock directs the Culwick Choral Society with a professional orchestra led by Brona Fitzgerald, and highly-renowned soloists Sinéad Campbell-Wallace (soprano) and John Molloy (baritone).
The exuberance of Poulenc’s Gloria offers the perfect foil to the Brahms. ‘When I wrote this piece’, Poulenc famously recalled, ‘I had in mind those frescoes by Gozzoli where the angels stick out their tongues; and also some serious Benedictine monks I had once seen revelling in a game of football.’

Heard very rarely in Ireland, the ‘Jazz Mass’ is an exciting blend of jazz blues and choir. It has been performed over a hundred times around the world since its premiere and follows in the tradition of Dave Brubeck's jazz-tinged oratorios. It is uncompromising in its use of improvisation, syncopation and harmonies, with the choir at times used like a jazz soloist and at other times providing backing vocals for the soprano soloist. The traditional Latin text is given a dynamic 21st century vibrancy as plainsong introductions progress through blues and swing to the final exuberant restatement of the Credo.
Programme also includes O Nata Lux de Lumine by Thomas Tallis and Devil's Trill Sonata by Giuseppe Tartini.
Ticket includes entry to a workshop led by Will Todd on 01.06.2018 at 7.30 in TCD.0 -
