When The Morning Starts Sang Cucb3

At times intimate and reflective, at times boisterous and unrelenting, this uplifting work by James Curnow was inspired by the biblical story ofJob and his “never give up” attitude. The old spiritual &ld quo;There is a Balm in Gilead” is incorporated as the piece takes us through tribulation and solace, turmoil and relief. The full spectrumof orchestration (from rich, dark brasses to flashing woodwinds) and so me small solo recitatives create contrast in density as well as mood.
