The Polyphonists — "Liebesleid-Lieder" (John Greer)

A note from composer John Greer: "The task of writing a modern answer to Brahms’ beloved Liebeslieder waltzes, commissioned by Canada’s Aldefburgh Connection for their 25th Anniversary, was an appealing and challenging one. I immediately decided to concentrate on the foibles of love and romance, whimsical, humourous and otherwise, as the German title suggests. Rather than limit myself to waltz songs, I chose to match my selected texts with different dance forms as appropriate. After an initial waltz, I have put together a suite of vocal dances drawing on many traditional styles from the Renaissance into the first half of the twentieth century. Many thinks to Stephen Ralls for reminding me of the witty, acerbic poems of Dorothy Parker which gives this work so much of its flavour!" The Polyphonists were joined for this performance by pianists Edward Rothmel and Jonathan King.

The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony, and that is our ethos: We are four soloists, but we come together to create music that transcends our individuality. Since our debut in 2020, The Polyphonists have garnered a steady following and developed a reputation for sophisticated and broad-ranging programming. The Polyphonists were honored as National Finalists for The American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, 2023 (Professional Division), and have been featured in residence at the University of Maryland, Towson University, the University of Oklahoma, & Oklahoma Baptist University. Our repertoire spans from the early Renaissance through the current day, with a commitment to expanding the choral canon by premiering new works and shining a light on lesser-known gems of the repertoire. #QuartetMusic #quartet #SATB #thepolyphonists #soprano #mezzosoprano #Mezzo #Alto #tenor #bass #bassbaritone #baritone #choralmusic #choralsinging #choral #choirmusic #choir #earlymusic #renaissance #acapella #dcmusic #polyphony #nycmusicians #nycmusicians #recording #AmyBroadbent #SylviaLeith #MattHill #MatthewHill #EdmundMilly #contemporary #newmusic #contemporarymusic #romantic #johannesbrahms #pianofourhands #chambermusic #vocalchambermusic --
