Product Description

This eleven-minute piece was written as a belated birthday-gift to Alison Cox, Head of Composition at the Purcell School, to be performed by her 'outreach' ensemble Impulse, who, with soprano Daisy Chute, gave the first performance, directed by Edward Longstaff, at Binham Priory, Norfolk on 14th July 2007 . The words are attributed to King Alfred, and are a reflection on the mythical Nordic ash tree, Ygg-drasill, a tree of life and death. They appear in Bulwer Lytton's historical novel Harold, which gives a detailed account of the Nordic and Norman invasions of Britain in 1066. It is cast in 14 variations on a mediaeval chant, a version of which the soprano sings at the outset and the clarinet concludes with. The piece's sub-title is 'variations against invasion'.
