Judith Weir: Telling the Tale
Part One
Natural History
Live from the Barbican Hall, London, Tom Service presents the first concert in a weekend dedicated to leading British composer Judith Weir.
Weir's Forest grows from a tiny 'seed' of melody into a dense, flourishing work for large orchestra, while her song-cycle Natural History draws on Taoist poetry. After the interval, The welcome arrival of rain vividly evokes sensations associated with the Indian monsoon.
Weir's music is interspersed with folk music from concertina maestro Simon Thoumire and his band, and the English Acoustic Collective.

Judith Weir: Legends and Sagas
Presented by Tom Service live from St Giles Cripplegate in London's Barbican Centre.
Imaginary encounters with the Middle Ages unite the three works in this concert. Elin Manahan Thomas tackles King Harald's Saga, a miniature grand opera in three acts for solo soprano. Weir turned to the music of 13th century France when she wrote All the Ends of the Earth for the BBC Singers in 1999, while Missa del Cid combines the Latin Mass with the bloodthirsty legend of El Cid.
