<\/em><\/p>\nThe work \u201cFrom the Clash of Race and Creed\u201d was originally inspired by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and derives its title from the couplet in the hymn \u201cNot alone for mighty empire,\u201d by William Merrill in 1911 which reads: \u201cGod of justice, save the people \/ From the clash of race and creed.\u201d This orchestral work juxtaposes the sometimes troubling, and often complex, dissonant aspects of today\u2019s reality filled with conflict, worry and hatred with the hopeful and ideal world of salvation, freedom and universal brotherhood. The recording features the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra under the celebrated conductor, Mikel Toms.<\/p>\n
The second track, \u201cSenex Puerum Portabat,\u201d is a work for mixed choir. In this fusion of old and new musical traditions, Field pays homage to a cappella practices and text from centuries ago, combining these with more modern harmony. Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine, comments: \u201cContemporary interest in the Divine Feminine seems reflected in Brian Field\u2019s \u2018Senex puerum portabat,\u2019 a setting of an antiphon to the Magnificat at First Vespers for the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is also a tale of a mother\u2019s love, and that aspect is enshrined in Field\u2019s interior harmonies, with their delicious dissonances.\u201d The recording is performed by Cor Volante under the direction of Brett Scott.<\/p>\n
