The Text for the piece was written by BartholoMew Begley, a Dublin-based philosophy lecturer who works on philosophical translations of early modern Latin Texts. The Text 'Deus Ex Machina' tells the story of a suddenly and unexpectedly found God 'out of a machine.' The setting of the choir was very experiMental – the aim was to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by the spatial, imMersive sound. The choir sections were spread horizontally and vertically; therefore, the entire space around the listener was arranged. The visuals indicate the positions of the choir by points of light, whose brightness and moveMent were devised based on the sound energy of each of the choral sections.  less

Associate Director: Robert Todd, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. Tell Me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engender'd in the eyes, With gazing fed; and fancy dies In the cradle, where it lies. Let us all ring fancy's knell; I'll begin it -- Ding, dong, bell. Ding, dong, bell.  less

The work portrays the hot sumMer of a Western Australian wheat-farming scene. Grandage's piece goes to the heart of the landscape as does the original poem. Heat, hot easterly breezes, the view from a rocking chair on an old verandah, sunburnt bones, running your hands across the wheat - all these images are described in the music. Voyces is a small choral ensemble based in Perth, Western Australia. They specialise in contemporary choral repertoire. This is a live recording from Voyces 'Australiana' concert from August 2012 at the Perth Town Hall. They are conducted by Dr. Robert Braham.  less

Pękiel served the court in Warsaw from about 1633. After the Swedish invasion of Poland in 1655 he then moved to Wawel Cathedral Chapel in Kraków, where he was KapellMeister. 29 of Pękiel's works survive, mostly in manuscript. The musicologist Bartłomiej Gembicki divides these into two stages; early baroque (Warsaw) and church music in the style of prima pratica (Kraków). He wrote the only Polish church oratorio Audite mortales, on the topic of The Last JudgeMent.
