Arcadia is a work for Violin Soprano Saxophone and Piano inspired by the painting Pastoral for E.W. by John Craxton. As a painter John was sometimes dubbed a neo-Romantic but much preferred the term Arcadian - hence the title of the piece.Pastoral for E.W. was painted in 1948 in St Johns Wood after one of Johns early trips to the island of Crete and is a homage to Peter Watson (co-founder of the magazine Horizon and the Institute of Contemporary Arts) who was one of Johnsearly mentors. In a letter in 1986 John recounted that: ‘Pastoral for P.W.’: was a celebration of the power of music. My sister (the distinguished oboist Janet Craxton) was learning the oboe on the same floor at the time and the house was full ofher scales and exercises coupled with my discovery that goats which seem to be daemonic willful and undisciplined are held in thrall by the sound of a flute - or have I gone a step further and frozen them into my geometry with a paint brush? Isuppose the flautist was in origin myself but a very emblematic me! Ian Collins in his book John Craxton (2011 Lund Humphries) says of Pastoral for E.W.: A pipe-player and a herd of goats are held in a rugged grid of semi-cubist triangles. Whilereferences to Dionysus and Orpheus may be noted it is essentially a fanfare for the ongoing life light and landscape of Greece. The music of Arcadia is also Grecian in inspiration. The traditional folk melodies Skaros Epirotikos Vari Pogonisio Ouzak To Tragoudhi Tis Xentias and Pentozalis - Pentozalis are present in Arcadia after I researched the type of music that John would have heard in Crete in the late 1940s. In a letter of 3rd May 1984 John said that he was also listening toStravinskys Symphony in 3 Movements over and over again at the same time when I first started the painting and aspects of the beginning of the last section of Arcadia (Allegro Moderato) pay homage to the Stravinsky in an attempt to createsomething of the aural landscape that John would have been experiencing during his painting of Pastoral for E.W. As a personal friend John was always encouraging and colourful in his comments about the music I played at the Craxton house inHampstead (where I continue to rehearse and teach) and some of the jazzier themes and tonalities in Arcadia are simply the sort of music that would get him enthused and (almost) dancing. ARCADIA is written for and dedicated to the memory of JohnCraxton RA (1922 - 2009). JOHN HARLE. The first performance of Arcadia was given by Pavel Spørcl (Violin) John Harle (Soprano Saxophone) and Steve Lodder (Piano) In a concert for The Craxton Trust on September 23rd 2012 at Craxton Studio Hampstead London.

I Give You The End Of A Golden String was commissioned in 2013 by the Royal Philharmonic Society/Britten-Pears Foundation to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Brittenand the bicentenary of the foundation of the Royal Philharmonic Society. The piece was first performed on 8th June 2013 by the Britten Sinfonia conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth. 'My aim when I began this piece was to create a long length of string music out of a single strand of melody.While experimenting at the beginning shaping and extending a melody in many possible directions I cameacross William Blake’s lines… I give you the end of a golden string; Only wind it into a ball It will lead you inat Heaven’s gate Built in Jerusalem’s wall …and this became my working method winding a single tune around itself so that it gradually formed itselfinto a much richer more complex texture. The process happens three times producing the equivalent of acontinuous three-movement concerto.The ‘first movement’ is engendered by two solo violas (the melody at the beginning already entwined witha slightly alternative version of itself). The ‘slow movement’ (a more extended more decorated developmentof the opening tune) is introduced by a solo cello (soon winding itself into a quartet of celli). The fast ‘finale’ led by two solo violins focuses on decorations within the melody rolling out ribbons of (Britten-like?) thirds.' - Judith Weir Suggested minimum strings: 8.6.4.4.2 players I Give You The End Of A Golden String was commissioned in 2013 by the Royal Philharmonic Society/Britten-Pears Foundation to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Brittenand the bicentenary of thefoundation of the Royal Philharmonic Society.
