At times intimate and reflective, at times boisterous and unrelenting, this uplifting new work by James Curnow was inspired by the biblical story of Job and his “never give up” attitude. The old spiritual Balm in Gilead is incorporated as the piece takes us through tribulation and solace, turmoil and relief. The full spectrum of orchestration from rich, dark Brasses to flashing Woodwinds, and some small solo recitatives create contrast in density as well as mood. There is a great deal to appreciate in the scoring and construction of this piece as you prepare for performance.

Dit werk, dat soms intiem en bespiegelend en dan weer onstuimig is, is gebaseerd op het bijbelse verhaal van Job en zijn standvastigheid. De oude spiritual Balm in Gilead is verwerkt in deze muziek, die ons meeneemt in rampspoeden vertroosting, verwarring en bemoediging. Het complete spectrum in de orkestratie, van warm, donker koper tot snel en soepel hout, evenals een aantal korte solorecitatieven, creëert contrast qua dichtheid en qua sfeer. InWhen the Morning Stars Sang valt veel te genieten.

Zu diesem Stück ließ sich James Curnow von der biblischen Geschichte von Job inspirieren. Die teils nachdenklich stimmende, teils überschäumende Komposition, die das alte Spiritual Balm in Gilead enthält, führt den Zuhörer durch Leiden und Chaos zu Trost und Erleichterung. Das volle Spektrum vom dunklen, vollen Blech bis hin zu strahlenden Holzbläsern und einigen Solovorträgen schafft beeindruckende Kontraste in Klangdichte und Stimmung. Ein außergewöhnliches Werk!
