Donnacha Dennehy has hereby unboxed his new CD, Land of Winter, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson.
Land of Winter explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece."
Alarm Will Sound will perform Land of Winter at Irish Arts Center in NYC December 11 & 12.

Joseph Brodsky + Donnacha Dennehy, Nadia Sirota & Liam Byrne
Lousy times: nothing to steal and no one to steal from. The legions return emptyhanded from their faraway expeditions. A sibyl confuses the past with the future as if she were a tree. And actors whom nobody now applauds forget the great lines. Forgetting, however, is the mother of classics. Eventually these years too will be seen as a slab of marble with a network of capillaries (the aqueduct, the system of taxation, the catacombs, the gossip), with a tuft of grass bursting up from within its crack. Whereas this was a time of poverty and of boredom, when there was nothing to steal, still less to buy, not to mention to offer somebody a present. The fault was not Caesar’s, more suffering than the rest because of the absence of luxury. Nor should one blame the stars, since the low overcast relieves the planets of responsability toward the settle terrain: an absence cannot influence a presence. And here’s precisely where a marble slab starts, because one-sidedness is the enemy of perspective. Perhaps it’s simply that things, more quickly that men, have lost their desire to multiply. In this white captivity.
[Joseph Brodsky, "MCMXCIV"]

Alarm Will Sound Performs Donnacha Dennehy's The Hunger
Alarm Will Sound, "one of the most vital and original ensembles on the American music scene" (The New York Times), tours the concert version of Donnacha Dennehy's modern cantata The Hunger to Princeton Sound Kitchen on September 17, 2019 and to Merkin Hall in collaboration with Irish Arts Center on September 19, 2019, part of Ecstatic Music's 10th anniversary season.
Rooted in the emotional, political, and socioeconomic devastation of Ireland's Great Famine (1845-52), The Hunger features Alarm Will Sound with soprano Katherine Manley and sean nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird. The Irish folk music narrative is interwoven with personal, historical accounts, where the libretto principally draws from first-hand accounts by Asenath Nicholson, an American humanitarian so moved by the waves of immigrants arriving in New York that she travelled to Ireland to report from the cabins of starving families.

Donnacha Dennehy's Land of Winter, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, is out now, along with this video for the track "July," made by Jack Phelan in County Wicklow, Ireland, and starring Camille O'Sullivan. You can hear the album here.
Land of Winter explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece."
Alarm Will Sound will perform Land of Winter at Irish Arts Center in NYC December 11 & 12. Tickets here.

New Classical Reviews
Two themes emerged in last month's classical reviews: opera and anniversaries. Two new operas appeared on record: Donnacha Dennehy's chamber opera The Last Hotel, and Lisa Bielawa's opera in 12 episodes Vireo: The Spiritual Biography of a Witch's Accuser. There were also selections from Offenbach operas by Jodie Devos and from Cavalli operas by Philippe Jaroussky, and a reconstruction of Liszt's…
