The Shadow of Night is a slow nocturne, exploring the world of melancholy, inspired by the composer's life-long fascination with D\\xfcrer's engraving Melencolia I, and Night's Black Bird - commissioned by the Roche Foundation - continues with the same reflective musical imagery. The Cry of Anubis, part tuba concerto, part tone poem, grew out of Birtwistle's fascination with Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the necropolis in Egyptian mythology who played an important part in Birtwistle's surreal opera The Second Mrs Kong (1993-94).\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Hall\\xe9's first recording for NMC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shadow of Night 28 25\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNight's Black Bird 14 14\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cry of Anubis 13 32\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143188496769,"sku":"802434","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51SLtQ1jyWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767675845","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/802434","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
