In Tavener’s own words; “The frailty\, tenderness\, and spiritual transparency of Yeats’ poetry inspired him to compose it”. \nIn Gorecki’s raw sounds\, there is a life that slowly fades away with each subsequent step and each subsequent breath. The title Goodnight touches us with its fragility\, but it does not deprive us of hope. \nTrio Táin is a new trio consisting of harpist Aisling Ennis with flautist Vourneen Ryan and violist Robin Panter. They are proud to collaborate with soprano\, Catherine Redding to realise this exquisite programme.

However\, the\nCOVID 19 pandemic intervened\, and it is only now that the work is receiving its first performance.\nWriting about the Commission Sam Perkin says: – \n“For Three Lever Harps is about the beauty that spontaneously comes into being when we step back\,\nembracing the waiting\, and watch the wonder of life unfold. The exploration of awe has now become\na central aspect of my artistic output. As an artist I seek to explore the purity of childlike wonder.\nThis is something we often lose contact with as we age\, and which gets replaced by apathy and void.\nIt can be scary to fully accept being alive\, though if we manage to get out of our own way and let life\nemerge\, we can authentically participate in its gift with humility”. \nComposed especially for the CETB’s harp teacher Damhnait Nic Suibhne and her students\, this work\nis scored for three lever harps but allows for individual parts to be doubled freely at the discretion\nof\, and relative to the availability of\, the performers. \n\nIn his performance notes Sam Perkin says “In the piece we hear waves of staccato chords which\noverlap and echo between the three parts. The regular silences enhance the atmosphere\, which is \nintended to sound as neutral as possible. Gradually a new pattern emerges\, leading us to hear what\nwe first heard in a new way. The three harps finally synchronise for the first time near the end of the\nwork\, leading to a delicate fading out of the music”. \nCarol Daly\, Principal of Cork ETB School of Music is very pleased that this creative piece will be\nplayed for the first time as part of the ETB School of Music’s ‘Young Ensembles’ concert at the West\nCork Chamber Music Festival. “We are really looking forward to hearing Sam Perkin’s wonderful\ncomposition which we commissioned to demonstrate our commitment to and pride in harping in our\nschool and we are delighted that these fine harpers\, will perform at the World Premiere. We are also\nvery grateful to West Cork Music for the opportunity”. \n  URL:https://www.harpireland.ie/showevent/world-premiere-of-for-three-lever-harps-by-sam-perkin-on-sunday-25th-june-at-2pm-bantry-as-part-of-the-west-cork-chamber-music-festival-young-musicians-series/ LOCATION:St Brendan’s Hall\, Bantry\, St Brendan's School\, Bantry\, Co.
