Author: William Yeoman
One of the most striking qualities of Greenaway’s works for larger ensembles such as Aurora Musis Amica for winds, harp and percussion, The Blue Mountains or Elk Branches is that feeling for landscape which also characterises the music of Peter Sculthorpe or Nigel Westlake, the spacious scoring and meandering melodiousness contributing to a sense of sublime restfulness. By contrast, many of the chamber and solo instrumental pieces here, particularly Dawn of Evening and the Chopinesque Etude in F minor, have a nocturnal, improvisatory quality, an Innigkeit, which complements the mellifluous harmonies and delicate lyrics of a cappella vocal works such as Stay Awhile.
As beautifully performed by Greenaway herself and a host of other musicians as it is packaged, ‘Aubade & Nocturne’ is easy listening at its best and most subtly challenging.
