This is a setting of There Is No Rose and What Cheer?, two famous texts given contrasting treatment here by the composer.
They were commissioned by the Bangor University Choir, with funds from the Arts Council of Wales in 1994, and first performed in the Prichard-Jones Hall, Bangor, North Wales, by the University Choir, conducted by David Evans in December that year.
Cinema Suite was completed in 2006, commissioned by the Ida
Carroll Trust in memory of the music scholar Peter
Crossley-Holland, who had close connections with the Music
Department at Bangor University, North Wales, where the composer
has lectured in composition and orchestration since 1992.
The work is in five movements, the total duration being around 32
minutes. Though the third and fourth movements were played by
Bangor University's Symphony Orchestra, and some material from
the first movement was previously used in the composer's Three
Miniature Portraits for clarinet choir (also published by
Chichester Music Press) performed by the North Wales Clarinet
Choir and broadcast on Radio Cymru in August 2005, Cinema Suite
was given its first complete performance in 2007 by the Royal
Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by Paul Murphy, and is available on
CD on the Dutton Epoch label CDLX 7190 British
Light Music
Premieres, Volume IV.
The five movements are all given titles, and can be performed as
separate works, though material is integrated between the
individual movements to produce a coherent whole. Suggestions
Philip Lane, the
producer of the CD, led to the final titles of the movements:
Ogres and Giants, The Magic Potion, Dreamscape, The Clowns and
Resolution, each title being self-explanatory but whose
function is only to give a feel for the movement, rather than
indicating a particular programme.
Cinema Suite uses a
modest-sized orchestra, though harp and celesta are used in
the first two movements, and an array of percussion
instruments is shared between two players (plus a separate
timpanist) giving a wide palette of orchestral timbre which is
exploited from the full writing of Ogres and Giants, the
delicate ballet-style writing of The Magic Potion, the dreamy
landscape of Dreamscape, the almost vulgar sound of The Clowns
and the long build-up of Resolution, driving up to a
full-orchestra crash, followed immediately by a quiet tuba
solo.
