'Echo' is the third movement of 'Seascapes', which was commissioned by the BBC Singers, as companion music to the 'Four Sea Interludes' by Benjamin Britten, arranged for the organ by Anna Lapwood. It was premiered at Temple Church by the BBC Singers, conducted by Ben Palmer, on 7 October. The four movements of 'Seascapes' take the four Britten movements as inspiration, seen through the prism of Arakelyan's musical language. Ranging from the painful lyricism of the third movement, Echo, to the wild energy of the final movement, Storm Wind, the musical syntax, including the melodies, structure and tonal centres are presented as a homage. The poems by Christina Rossetti were chosen to reflect the narrative themes of Britten's opera 'Peter Grimes', from which the 'Four Sea Interludes' are taken. The compositions can be paired with the Four Sea Interludes or performed as standalone pieces.

It does not always have to be Sarasate - the “Carmen Fantasy” by Hungarian violin virtuoso Jenö Hubay is also well worth discovering! Composed in 1876/77, it is considered an early example of his masterful operatic transcriptions. Hubay combined the best-known themes from Georges Bizet's opera - Habanera, Micaëla's aria, the Toreador March - into a colourful showpiece for the violin.

This piece, inspired by traditional sea shanties, spreads three different moods across three movements. The first movement (“Out to Sea”) was written in 6/8 to musically depict what it would feel like to be on a ship rocking back and forth as it leaves port. The second movement (“Tides of Midnight”) is comprised of two sections: the first, slower section is the presentation of calm waters and the tranquil night while the second, more playful, represents the joy and freedom sailors felt while out on the open sea. The final movement (“Ambush!”) illustrates the dangers the crew members and sea vessels faced daily. Towards the end of the piece, the original melody can be heard once again, bringing with it a sense of familiarity and finality, as the sailors' journey comes to a close.

A setting of Christina Rossetti's poem Dream Land, the raw emotional quality of Dreamland reflects on the beautiful imagery and themes of fantasy and death of the poem. Written in the Autumn of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the difficulties of those months are reflected in the sorrowful and transcendent nature of the melodic lines, which are supported by a flowing piano line. Although it was imagined as a song, initially Dreamland was called 'Rhapsody' and written as a ballet score for piano and wind quintet. Versions for piano solo and organ solo also exist.

Program Note by Warren Benson: “Contrast defines the Concertino. From a simple beginning, each of the solo flute sections builds to a free virtuosic statement against the rather stark, dramatic background of insistent, distant percussion pulsing. The alternating full ensemble sections are bound together by a set of four variations which treat the dancy or lyrical aspects of the material. They recur two times in various additional disguises, making twelve in all - divided unevenly into three groups. The contemplative closing variation is characterized by a slowly rocking viola motive over which the solo flute weaves the final echoes of the lyric voice before moving to its final soliloquy. Commissioned by Flute virtuosa Bonita Boyd, the work was completed in 1983 and had its premiere in Los Angeles in December of that year.”
