In this choral nocturne the composer has taken verses by three different poets which she felt to be linked very closely in the feeling as well as in subject. The phrase ‘‘Will you come?’’ links the first poem by William Barnes tothe Second by Edward Thomas. In the Shelley poem it becomes ‘‘Come soon’’. The approach of night which gives all three poems their nocturnal feeling is gradual; evening begins to approach at the end of the Barns poem; the EdwardThomas is a real twilight poem with flashes of sights and sounds half seen and heard and then night slowly falls in the Shelley poem. To quote the composer ‘‘I have treated these three poems like the three panels of atriptych-three contrasted pieces which are one at the same time linked by the subject matter and by technical means.’’ 'Nocturnal' was commissioned by W D and H O Wills for the Cork International Choral Festival and firstperformed by Morley College Choir conducted by Graham Treacher on 22 May 1966 at the Festival.

Internationally renowned Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski created this impressive and deceptively folk-like Orchestral work when he was a very young composer and it propelled him into the first ranks of young composers in theearly part of the 20th century.In recent years Lutoslawki’s music has begun to enjoy a reassessment after a few years of recession following his death in 1994. The piece begins with suggestions of folkloric influences butrapidly undergoes a transformation into something deeper more meaningful and ultimately more rewarding. The Symphonic Variations is a rare survivor of Lutoslawski’s early work as Poland suffered Nazi occupation followed bydecades of Soviet dominance and the composer had to contend with survival – for a time by playing Piano with composer Andrzej Panufnik in the bars and café’s of Warsaw. He fled Warsaw in 1944 with very few scores of which thisis one.Even the graphic arrangement of the score underlines its modernity with blank white spaces during passages of rest and large superscript time signatures of particular value to the conductor during passages where the timechanges in each bar.
