Celebrate the incredible legacy of Buxton Orr at this special event at Scottish Music Centre Ltd. Join us for a memorable evening filled with music, stories, and song as we honour the life and music of this overlooked local composer!
The Bubblyjock Collective is a Glasgow-based ensemble dedicated to celebrating the lives and music of Scottish composers. They research under-performed music that has been written by composers born in Scotland, or based there, and revive them from the archives back into public performance.
Buxton Orr (1924-1997) was an Anglo-Scottish composer who was born and grew up Glasgow. Orr's music captures a playful yet thoughtful personality, and his song settings demonstrate his masterful word painting and interpretation of poetry. His Scottish heritage is explicit in 'Songs of a Childhood', a song-cycle of Scots children's poetry and 'Celtic Suite', his suite for strings, which The Bubblyjocks have arranged for accordion and piano duo.
FULL PROGRAMME:
- The Painter’s Mistress (1974), text by James Elroy Flecker
- Celtic Suite (1968), originally for string orchestra, arr. for accordion and piano
- The Ballad of Mr and Mrs Discobbolos (1970), nonsense poem by Edward Lear
- Bagatelles for solo piano (1952)
- Songs of a Childhood (1962), settings of Scots children's poetry
