VOLUME 2
* Voice and accordion *

Songs from Hell, volume 2
pixel
pixelJeremy Arden

Jeremy Arden’s second volume of Songs from Hell continues his response to the dark and disturbing states of the human condition. Pervasive forces — ever more ascendant, raw, animalistic and furious — are dragging us closer to something hellish. They demand to be named, resisted and — as the composer does here — explored through song as challenges, warnings, and humorous laments.

pixel SIX TRIO SONATAS
* Two violins, and basso continuo *

Six trio sonatas, Volume 1 pixel
pixelWilliam Bates
William Bates (c.1732–1778) was a leading figure in the area of vocal music for the London stage and pleasure gardens in the 1760s and 1770s, but he also produced two important collections of instrumental music: six trio sonatas for two violins, cello and continuo around 1757, his first published collection, and six concertos including horns in 1762. The trio sonatas show a composer already at the height of his powers. They are among the best works of their kind created in England in the decade before the advent of J. C. Bach ushered in the full-blown Classical style, and their previous neglect has probably been due in large part to Bates’s low profile as a performer during his lifetime, which has hindered his recognition by historians and commentators. Now is the time to put that right.

All the elements of the composer’s mature style, including those describable as early Classical rather than Baroque, are already present in Op. 1. Let us hope his time has come.
