Gilbert himself grew up in a family who were forced to flee from religious persecution in the late 1930s.  The texts for Ygg-drasill (2007), set for voice and nine instruments, tell of a Viking invasion, and the first text is attributed to King Alfred.   Another Dream Carousel reflects on the Nazi persecution of the Jews in Vienna before Kristallnacht (1938), and on how the Jews were able to sustain their morale in the face of these horrors Juxtaposing these, Rapprochement (2011) for cello and piano explores conflict resolution, and String Quartet No 3 \\u2013 super Hoqueto 'David' (1987) draws upon a Hebrew chant used by P\\xe9rotin (1160-1230) and Machaut (1300-77), and strives to capture the sounds of the hurdy-gurdy. In contrast, inspiration for the solo piano works comes from wildlife: butterflies (Papillon Postcards (2005)) and birds (Piano Sonata No 3 (2001)). The two songs for soprano, recorder, oboe, violin and cello, En Bateau, d'apr\\xe8s Watteau (2007), are settings of Baudelaire (1821-1867) and Proust (1871-1922) respectively, loosely connected by the theme of the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ordering of the seven compositions on this CD aims to show, figuratively rather than literally, how early historical patterns of conflict and near-resolution in an otherwise peaceful context are mirrored in our own time.  Two sets of three pieces are separated by a substantial Sonata (which acts as 'time-transition') creating an overall triptych-like structure for the disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYgg-drasill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapillon Postcards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapillion Postcards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapillion Postcards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEn Bateau\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEn Bateau\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother Dream Carousel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRapprochement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuartet No. 3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55154585305473,"sku":"721221","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/514cGC5Z_NL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767905679","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/721221","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
