Seeds in flight – music by Joanna Marsh, from #Fading by The Gesualdo Six.

This excerpt was performed live at St Anne and St Agnes Church in London in 2020, ahead of the group’s performance as part of VOCES8’s #LivefromLondon series.

Programme Note:
Joanna Marsh is a British composer who has been living in Dubai since 2007. ‘Seeds in flight’ comes from Arabesques, a set of four pieces composed in 2015. These are settings of short but highly evocative poems by contemporary male Arab poets, each telling the story of a woman they have known. ‘Seeds in flight’ tells of how a woman finds rebirth after her death, with Marsh this time regularly resolving to the same minor chord before finally breaking out into an uplifting chord sequence at the end. Throughout, gentle dissonances colour important moments in the text, such as at ‘whispers’, ‘magic’ and ‘miracle’.[Owain Park © 2020]
