McCabe was appointed CBE by the Queen in 1985 for his services to British music. Three highly expressive chamber works make up this album. The piano quintet The Woman By The Sea draws inspiration from a the Kenji Mizoguchi film Sansho Dayu (1954). It was recorded in 2009 and features John McCabe on piano, with the Sacconi Quartet. Silver Nocturnes for baritone and string quartet, sets poetry by three of the so-called 'Silver Poets' of the sixteenth century: Henry Howard (Earl of Surrey), Sir Edward Dyer, and Sir Philip Sidney. There is a mournful, almost austere tone established through the Britten-esque vocals, here sung by Roderick Williams. McCabe described the french horn as 'one of the most evocative and beautiful of all instruments'. His Horn Quintet was written especially for the artists on this recording: David Pyatt and the Sacconi Quartet.\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: The Woman By The Sea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes I More are men's ends\\u2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes II Set me whereas the sun\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes III The lowest Trees have tops\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes IV Interlude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes V My true love hath my heart\\u2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Silver Nocturnes VI The setting sun\\u2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe:  Horn Quintet Vigoroso -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Horn Quintet Slow -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe: Horn Quintet Prestissimo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143183810945,"sku":"802703","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51mwXo-ftaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767675873","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/802703","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
