Sounds New -

Posted on: 26th Apr 2012

This Saturday, two works by Jonathan Harvey will be on BBC Radio 3’s Hear and Now; his Song Offerings, a setting of poems from Tagore’s ‘Gitanjali’ sung by Claire Booth with the Nash Ensemble, and Summer Clouds Awakening, for choir, flute, cello and electronics.

Harvey’s music appears at Sounds New this year on several occasions: more details in the recent feature devoted to the composer on this blog: click here to read more.

The Hear and Now programme will then be available online for a week – neatly over-lapping with the start of Sounds New itself…!

To get you in the mood, here’s Harvey’s mesmerising Tranquil Abiding.
