Product details
Josie and the Emeralds are the acclaimed early music soprano
Josie Ryan and some of Australia's finest viol players: The
Emerald City Viols. Founded in 2011, the group is critically
acclaimed for its sophisticated performances and innovative
programming of Renaissance and contemporary works, including
compositions and arrangements by their director, Brooke
Green.
The Emerald Leopard is one of four songs composed by Brooke Green
based on poems of Dorothy Porter. Mysterious, imperious and
shimmering on the horizon: these are some of the images Dorothy
Porter evokes in her poem The Emerald Leopard. The idea of
transformation, the desire to move the listener is at the heart
of much Renaissance poetry and music. With this understanding,
Josie and the Emeralds perform exquisite songs from Renaissance
England: by Orlando Gibbons, including The Silver Swan; John
Dowland including Flow my Tears and Thomas Morley: Sing we and
Chant it.
Other works on this CD by Brooke Green include The Shades
(Audience Prize, The Tenth International Leo M. Traynor
Composition Competition for New Music for Viols, 2013) and
Travelling to the Question inspired by Nick Cave, Hildegard of
Bingen and Martin Heidegger. The CD also includes Brooke Green's
arrangements of: Elena Kats-Chernin's brilliant Eliza Aria from
Wild Swans; Andrea Pandolfo's Albanese - a moving lament from the
perspective of a refugee mother - which has been popularly viewed
on YouTube; and some delightful piano works by Ross Edwards
re-imagined for viol quartet with the new title Miniatures.
Duration: 78 min.
Liner booklet includes programme notes.
