Abdie Church welcomes award winning Glasgow-based string duo Sequoia, who are joined by mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean and composer and harmonium player Stuart MacRae for an intimate and evocative performance that brings together song, medieval lyric, Scottish folk, and contemporary instrumental sounds. From the ethereal to the earthy, the music moves fluidly through time and tradition, drawing listeners into vivid, unexpected sound worlds where the old and new meet. “…conjures an aural landscape steeped in folk music and medieval lyric, but the result is entirely distinctive and modern... This is music for slow, close listening, beautifully performed.”Fiona Maddocks, The Observer “There’s gripping unpredictability in a journey that courses through the mystical, largely unaccompanied simplicity of The Captive, a traditional Gaelic song playfully remodelled, and much more en route to the crushing density of O Earth, Lie Heavily and the earlier-composed The Lif of this World.”★★★★★ - Ken Walton, The Scotsman “folkloric simplicity”Minimalismore “…at times ethereal, at others bracingly earthy, and often featuring agile, decorative curlicues…a piece of stunning, melancholic beauty.”★★★★★ - BBC Music Magazine Performers: Sequoia: Alice Rickards violin & Sonia Cromarty cello Lotte Betts-Dean mezzo-soprano Stuart MacRae composer and harmonium Find out more about the music: https://www.delphianrecords.com/products/stuart-macrae-earth-thy-cold-is-keen
