Recorded 04/20/2025 - Easter Sunday. "Theme and Variations: Harden Not Your Hearts" resembles typical "Theme and Variations" compositions by Beethoven or other Classic or Romantic composers. This theme is based on a phrase from a antiphon often heard in Lent which says, “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15 and Psalm 95:8). Unlike the other "Sketches" compositions, this piece was through-composed is not total improvisation. The piece was developed using improvisation, but the final composition was mapped and planned in advance. However, the performance is spontaneous and unedited.

🎼 Therym, Op.10 No.38 – Orchestral Suite by C.R. Srikanth
Therym is an original orchestral suite composed for full symphonic forces, exploring a wide palette of textures, colors, and rhythmic energy. Scored for winds, brass, percussion, harp, and full strings, the work showcases a deliberate engagement with orchestral tradition while carving out its own voice through tightly woven motifs and layered instrumentation.

The suite is marked by a consistent forward momentum, largely driven by rhythmic figures — particularly triplets and syncopations — that recur in various instrumental combinations. The orchestration reflects a clear understanding of instrumental capabilities, with thoughtful deployment of coloristic elements such as glockenspiel, vibraphone, and muted brass, adding a bright, modern sheen to the otherwise traditionally structured writing.

Rather than adhering to rigid classical forms, Therym opts for a more episodic, cinematic structure. The music progresses organically, relying on shifts in timbre and texture to guide the listener. While not experimental in its harmonic language, the suite maintains interest through dynamic contrasts and sectional interplay.

That said, the piece does play it somewhat safe in certain respects. It favors density and volume over moments of restraint or silence, and while technically sound, the emotional contour could be deepened. Some sections risk feeling overwrought or overly saturated, where a sparser or more lyrical touch could have provided contrast and nuance.

Nevertheless, Therym stands as a confident and competently orchestrated work. It’s well-suited for performance, and reflects a composer in command of large ensemble writing, with room to continue developing a more distinct and emotionally resonant voice.

The title word "Alu" is a somewhat gnomic term found on a variety of runestones. While a clear definition of the term is not agreed upon, it is used in the context of benediction in the closing of rune texts and perhaps derives from "ale." In this composition, some inspiration was taken from the encryption techniques used to hide deeper meanings within the poetic, ceremonial inscriptions on runestones. In addition to the association of runes with the practice of encoding, there remains an association of runes with the crudeness of the technology of antiquity. This association, combined with the notion of monoliths as unwieldy objects, led to a musical vision of the chamber orchestra as a fairly uniform body articulating swarming, mass textures. The music takes a step back from many of the modern advances in experimental or virtuosic performing technique, preferring a crude and jagged approach to both form and material.

Alu was premiered on Sunday April 20, 2025 by the University of Iowa Center for New Music

James Garner is a composer whose music has been described as “utterly accomplished in all respects” (Dame Judith Weir) and praised for its “warmth, sincerity and tension” (Bachtrack). His works have been performed in the UK and internationally.

James has a deep affinity for vocal and theatrical music, having written multiple pieces for the stage. In 2017, his first chamber opera, East o’ the Sun, West o’ the Moon, received its North American premiere in Montreal, and in 2020 he collaborated on The Opera Story’s digital series Episodes, which won an RPS Inspiration Award. He has previously been commissioned by English Touring Opera (for whom he wrote his second opera, Dust Child), The Opera Story, and Tête à Tête. His next major work and first full-length opera, Much Ado, is based on Shakespeare’s original play and was previewed for the Association for Opera in Canada. It is commissioned by Opera McGill, who will give its world premiere in 2026/27 at the Monument-National in Montréal.

James’s music has also been performed at festivals and series, including the Kings Place Festival, Borough New Music, Richmond Concert Series, and Song in the City. Much of his recent output has consisted of solo and chamber music, including a new work for the guitarist George Tarlton, and a chamber commission from the Orchestra of Opera North. In 2024, he curated a programme of new and devised music at the historic Old Church Stoke Newington, in collaboration with Owen Spafford, Alex Lyon, Hania Woźniak and Carla Huhtanen. Future projects include a song cycle for the soprano Elisabeth Boudreault, and a new collection of solo piano pieces for Joseph Havlat.

James is in regular demand in the UK as a composer for participatory and outreach projects, and has mentored students in music facilitation and opera-making at institutions including the Royal Academy, Royal College of Music, Guildhall School and Oxford University. He has also worked as a conductor and music assistant for the Barbican Centre, Royal Opera House, Royal Festival Hall and BBC Four. He is a regular guest artist on McGill University’s opera programme.

This Spring, James is composing a film opera short with the Canadian novelist Lisa Moore for Opera on the Avalon’s New Commission Series, and leading participatory projects for Turtle Key Arts in association with the Royal College, Oxford University, and the V&A Museum.

James graduated from the Guildhall School with the Muriel Dawson/Mary Ryan Award for Composition. He is also a recent graduate from the Royal Academy, where he studied with David Sawer and additionally with Hans Abrahamsen, supported by the Munster Trust.

Australian composer, born 1960, married to Clare Maclean (New Zealand/Australian composer). The first series of paintings used on my Soundcloud sight were by my father, Barry Carroll. I have used other painters since then. There is a wide variety of music here: recent compositions, pieces written in my thirties, student works, and pieces written in my teenage years. Its mostly based on Finale versions of my scores. There is a full list of my Soundcloud pieces at https://john-carroll-poems.com/soundcloud-recordings/

Soon after I started learning piano I began composing. At university I studied with Peter Sculthorpe (1978-81) [and earlier, with Martin Wesley-Smith, Moya Henderson and Eric Gross]. My style was modernist (In Terra Pax, Sonata for Two Pianos and Horn, Qui Tollis). After my studies I felt drawn to tonality. Many of my pieces were written during my thirties. My style is often tonal, sometimes using the structures of classical music, sometimes incorporating traditional melodies, aiming to express a sense of the timeless goodness in existence. I became a pastor. There was a twenty year exile from composition, during which time I started writing poetry. 

In 2018 I began composing again. Over 1770 new works have been written, each one canonic - using Plainsong, Jewish cantillation, Scottish pibrochs, Icelandic music, early transcriptions of Aboriginal music, Breton and Northumbrian melodies, Gaelic psalms, Irish and English tunes, Welsh folk songs, and my own melodies (and an extended series of works that accompany paintings) "joining our voice to a great communal voice that calls out across the centuries" (Ben Myers). Bruckner greatly influenced me when I was young. May I also create melodies that "arc from heaven" (Colin Davies).
