Anáil Dé – The Breath Of God
GAVIN BRYARS & IARLA Ó’LIONÁIRD with The Crash Ensemble
Friday 14th November, Great Hall, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin
Saturday 15th November, Solstice Arts Centre, Navan.
Note Productions is pleased to presented the premiere performance of
Anáil Dé - The Breath Of God is a major new work by iconoclastic
composer Gavin Bryars for arguably the finest Irish singer of his
generation, Iarla Ó’Lionáird.
Anáil Dé - The Breath Of God is based on pre-1600 texts from Ancient
Irish spiritual manuscripts selected by the artists. The premiere
concerts will be performed by Gavin Bryars, Iarla Ó’Lionáird and The
Crash Ensemble. This new project is a unique a special meeting of
traditional Irish music and modern European composition. Gavin Bryars
is best known for his iconoclastic works such as Jesus Blood Never
Failed Me Yet and The Sinking of the Titanic. Iarla Ó’Lionáird
acclaimed work fuses the traditions of sean-nós with modern electronic
music and soundscapes.
One of the key icons of European modern music, Gavin Bryars came to
attention in 1975 with his first major work, The Sinking of the Titanic
released on Brian Eno’s Point label. He followed this with the renowned
Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet featuring Tom Waits. Bryars’ music
draws on his minimalist training with John Cage and the ambient
influences of Brian Eno. One of the great composers at work today, his
music is marked by its emotional power. His is a deeply humanist modern
music at once iconoclastic and emotionally charged.
Iarla Ó Lionáird has become known as the ethereal voice of the
Afro-Celt Soundsystem. Yet with his latest project, he looks set to
launch a solo career of groundbreaking innovation. His last project and
album Invisible Fields melds the ancient echoes of sean-nós with the
future sounds of today’s sonic explorers. Iarla Ó’Lionáird has also
released three acclaimed solo albums, The Seven Steps To Mercy, I Could
Read The Sky and Invisible Fields.
The Crash Ensemble is Ireland’s leading contemporary ensemble. Since
its first sold-out concert in Dublin in the autumn of 1997, the group
has attracted enthusiastic audiences for its particular blend of music,
video and electronics. Crash has commissioned or premiered a large
amount of works by many composers incuding Raymond Deane, Donnacha
Dennehy, Arnold Dreyblatt, Michael Gordon, and Kevin Volans. It has
worked directly with all the above, and with other composers such as
Louis Andreissen, Gavin Bryars, Roger Doyle and Steve Reich.
