Abstract
Extended composer interview and CD review [of "Polyhymnia: String, Choral and Orchestral Works of Jonathan Little"] by the UK music producer, publisher and the founder/director of Toccata Classics & Toccata Press, Martin Anderson.
"A new CD from the New Hampshire label Navona—a new name to me, I must admit—brings orchestral, chamber, and choral music from the British-based Australian composer Jonathan Little. His name, too, was new to me, but it’s obviously one that will make its mark. ... Jonathan Little issues from a similar school of sensibility to that of the “holy mystics” of Eastern Europe, composers like Arvo Pärt and Pēteris Vasks. … [Terpsichore is] an exuberant orchestral essay somewhere between Respighi’s evocations of ancient Rome and Villa‐Lobos’s representation of the Brazilian jungle. … The Sacred Prelude is dignified and sober, moving without being emotional … it is clear from this CD that his fine command of atmosphere and orchestral color ought to command a decent fee in Hollywood. ..."
