Programme Note
As I began to work on Chant with Eleftheria Kotzia, it became apparent that the piece was a meditation on the ancient Byzantine hymn 'Fos ilaron'. I had the image of a young girl sitting by the sea on a Greek island remembering the church services of her childhood - so I asked Eleftheria to hum in certain places part of the ancient Vespers hymn.
Chant was written in 1984 for Simon James, who commissioned it with funds provided by Raymond Denham.
