Description
Lady Diana Barham (1762 – 1823) was a philanthropist who established schools and churches on the Gower peninsula (Wales, UK) through her own personal funding. A visit to Bristol, to stay with her daughter was delayed just as she arrived at the Somerset border and so she contrived a visit to Swansea, Wales, after looking at a map. On her arrival at the North coast of Gower, she was troubled by the lack of education. She felt the need to see free schools and churches built – and after returning to England, she could not rest until her vision was made a reality. She returned to the Gower peninsula, to live at Fairy Hill, Reynoldston and built free schools and churches with her own money. She was responsible for changing and impacting on thousands of lives over several generations.
This concerto for saxophone attempts to create a musical narrative in four parts:
1. The Sands – Barham’s first arrival at Penclawdd, North Gower
2. Beach Road – a first sojourn through village life, where she encounters children running and playing, cocklewomen and labourers
3. Copper Works – the filthy industrial hard labour centres
4. Lady Barham’s Mission – the moment in which she is inspired to help create schools and churches
The work was written for saxophonist Max Goldberg for inclusion his album ‘Reflective Allies’ which is available on all digital streaming platforms as well as www.willowhaynerecords.com amongst others.
