Adam's Fall
a carol for unaccompanied mixed voices (SATB),
music by Richard Elfyn Jones
& words by David Broadbridge
|
The verses of this original carol are rich with imagery of the tree, the apple, Paradise and Eden, while the refrain taps into medieval rural traditions of verse and carolling. The music mirrors the theology of the words, conveying much emotional expression before reaching a powerful conclusion.
Published by Encore Publications, £2.50
Richard Elfyn Jones (b. 1944)
began his professional career as an organist, orchestral conductor and choral director after graduating from the University of Wales and King's College, Cambridge. He studied composition with William Mathias. He was a Limpus Prizewinner at the Royal College of Organists, and a semi-finalist in the Cantelli International Conducting Competition in Milan, Italy. For many years, he was Senior Lecturer in Music at Cardiff University. He also served as conductor of the Cardiff Polyphonic Choir (1977-91).
 David Broadbridge (b. 1947) is a poet and translator. He read English and Theology at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. On leaving Oxford University he worked in education in Denmark and England. His book, Treading the Dance (Stacey 2011), is a translation of Danish medieval ballads, which was described by Seamus Heaney as 'beautifully produced and seriously enjoyable.' In 2017, Oversteps Books published Something in Writing, a collection of his finely-crafted poems.
