Ergreifende Werke
Herbert Howells, der aus verschiedenen persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem Ende des Lebens konfrontiert wurde, schrieb ergreifende Werke, die Stephen Layton und der Chor des Trinity College Cambridge bei Hyperion aufgenommen haben. Erst schwer krank, später der Tod seines Sohnes – das »Requiem« und »All my hope on God is founded« sind unmittelbare Reaktionen darauf, wenngleich beide erst später uraufgeführt worden sind.
Herbert Howells was acutely sensitive to the transience of life, having witnessed the loss of friends and contemporaries in the First World War and encountered deep personal tragedy when his son Michael died of polio at the age of just nine. And so a mood of elegiac yearning inhabits much of his choral music: the austere, lovely a cappella Requiem, and the elegant Take him, earth, for cherishing, commissioned to commemorate the death of President John F Kennedy, here lovingly performed by the young voices of Trinity College Choir, Cambridge, in Hyperion’s Record of the Month for April 2012.
And yet Howells could write magnificently thrilling music too, as demonstrated by the fresh brilliance of A Hymn for St Cecilia, the spine-tingling grandeur of the St Paul’s Service, or the life-affirming hymn ‘All my hope on God is founded’, here further sweetened with a descant by John Rutter.(hyperion-records. co. uk)
