Composer of the Week: EJ Moeran

on BBC Radio 3

With Donald Macleod.
2: Norfolk and Folk Song
"His familiarity with the neighbourhood gave him facilities which are often denied to the stranger.... He collects these songs from no antiquarian, historical or psychological motives, but because he loves them and the people who sing them." EJ Moeran absorbed the folksong tradition wholeheartedly, and with his love of the countryside, this became a potent influence on his mature compositions. The Sailor and Young Nancy; The Jolly Carter
BBC Singers, conductor Stephen Cleobury Lonely Waters; Rhapsody No 2 Ulster Orchestra, conductor Vernon Handley Sinfonietta
BBC Philharmonic, conductor Rumon Gamba
