In Night Songs we explore music which conjures images of the night all its various forms. Bloch in his Three Nocturnes expresses both nocturnal tranquillity and then the danger of a night chase, while American Kenji Bunch's work, Swing Shift takes us on a musical club crawl, capturing, as the composer says, "the unique essence of New York City at her most exciting time of day - the hours between dusk and dawn". Peter Sculthorpe's atmospheric work Night Song is poignant, mournful and deeply expressive, and Schubert's Notturno is one of chamber music's best loved nocturnes, while Beethoven's famous 'Ghost Trio - so named because of its dark and eerie second movement - has, whether Beethoven intended it or not, become forever linked with the night time fear of the unknown. |
