IN SEA-COLD LYONESSE
JOHN PICKARD
Full Score
In Sea-Cold Lyonesse
The legend of the submerged city of Lyonesse dates back to Arthurian times when it was
associated with the story of Tristan and Iseult. Though geographically vague in the early
literature, the legend eventually came to be associated with the lost Cornish town of
Lethowsow, which some believed to lie submerged between Land’s End and Scilly.
Lyonesse is just one of several sunken cities encountered in Celtic legend: the Welsh
version is Cantre'r Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay, while the Bretons have the legend of the
city of Ys (the inspiration for Debussy’s famous piano Prélude La cathédrale engloutie).
From Tennyson to Sylvia Plath, the story of Lyonesse has inspired many writers and
poets. This work sets poems by Thomas Hardy (When I set out for Lyonesse) and Walter
de la Mare (Sunk Lyonesse), the latter embedded between the second and third
verses of the former.
For this particular piece, the story of Lyonesse seemed especially appropriate, for the
work was specifically designed to be performed by three groups of musicians, two on
the Cornish mainland and one on the Isles of Scilly, all playing simultaneously and all
connected in an online environment. Towards the end, the brass on the mainland and the
woodwind on Scilly call to each other across the sea, their music conveyed via a fibre-optic
cable running across the sea-bed and - who knows? - perhaps through the streets of the
submerged city itself. Thus, modern technology and ancient myth meet.
John Pickard
Instrumentation
Group 1
4 Woodwind parts (any combination of Flutes, Oboes or Clarinets; doubling is encouraged)
The present score provides a realisation for 4 flutes.
Group 2
8 Brass parts (any combination of instruments, giving a full range from low to high; doubling is encouraged)
The present score provides a realisation for 10 brass band instruments.
Group 3
Percussion: Tam-tam and Suspended Cymbal (1 player)
Female Choir or Children's Choir
Strings
The work is designed for performance in an online environment using superfast broadband. Each of the groups
is physically separated and the conductor is also physically isolated, conducting to camera, so that each group sees
the beat simultaneously. Each group hears the other two groups slightly behind the conductor's beat. Where possible,
this delay (latency) should be adjusted using a latency patch applied to the software. The latency should be set so that
the delay is extended to a full crotchet beat in length. The music is designed to ensure that, while the alignment of the groups
is different in each location, the musical experience remains valid wherever it is heard.
The work can also be performed without the use of broadband technology, with the groups either physically separated (and,
if necessary, separately conducted) or all together on the same stage as a conventional concert performance.
