Nativity - (Excerpt), King Edward's School, Bath

'Viral' was commissioned by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and is dedicated to the Worshipful Company of Musicians and was supported by the John Clementi Collard Fellowship. 

Viral was written as a partner piece for Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and is scored for identical forces. The piece is consciously built upon small repetitive motifs, some of which dissipate before they have had time to develop, whilst others evolve to dominate much of the orchestral texture. At the forefront of my mind was Beethoven’s score and it’s famous four note cell which dominates the opening movement. I wanted to allude to this gesture within my own piece and therefore unlike my previous orchestral work, Viral places much emphasis upon rhythmic and textural gestures of very short durations.

O Oriens (‘O Morning Star’) by Mark Boden (1986-)

O Oriens,
splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

O Morning Star,
splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:
Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

Mark David Boden
