Michael Hurd (1928 - 2006) - Sinfonia Concertante (Andante). Nikon Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 micro.
A bit of fun. No cheating from those who might have seen the recent upload elsewhere!
I was very taken by this piece, which I heard recently on a friend's Channel.
Since I thought this might pique the interest of many of my subs, whose knowledge of music is prodigious, I thought I'd be furtive with this one.
I shall respond with all the facts in due course, including credits.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
"Michael John Hurd (19 December 1928 – 8 August 2006) was a composer and musicologist principally known for his choral music.
He was born in Gloucester on 19 December 1928 and educated at The Crypt School, Gloucester, and Pembroke College, Oxford. He was also a composition pupil of Lennox Berkeley. After National Service he taught at the Royal Marines Band School at Deal, before settling in East Hampshire where he took a leading role in the area's music-making.
Like his fellow Petersfield resident, Wilfred Brown, Hurd championed the memory of Gerald Finzi, co-editing the composer's correspondence with Howard Ferguson. He also championed the music of Rutland Boughton (he was Music Advisor to The Rutland Boughton Music Trust from 1978 to 2006) and Ivor Gurney. His lifelong friends include the writer David Hughes and his actress wife Mai Zetterling. While his was first and foremost an academic career, his work also reached a wider audience through film scores and his materials for schoolchildren. He is most noted for his "pop" cantatas such as Jonah-Man Jazz (1966). He died on 8 August 2006." Courtesy of Wikipedia.
Photos: there was a rain shower and I was struck by the hydrophobic power of the leaves of a shrub (smoke tree) in my garden. A tiny universe in every droplet, albeit short-lived...
Dedicated to my dear sister, who is currently troubled. Hugs and kisses J :)
