RAYMOND DEANE'S NOCTUARY

On 22 September 2013, “NOCTUARY,” by the Irish poet, novelist, and composer
Raymond Deane, had its world premiere at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin,
Ireland.  “NOCTUARY” is a 45 minute cycle of 12 pieces for piano, etc.,
commissioned by Hugh Tinney with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland/An
Chomairle Ealaíon.  Hugh Tinney is one of the leading concert pianists in
Ireland today.

Now an effort is being made for ordinary people, grassroots people,
rank-and-file people, to fund a CD recording of this work through FUNDIT.IE...

A NOCTUARY is a nighttime diary, and these pieces by Raymond Deane evoke
many and various images of the night, including Minerva's owl (which “takes
flight as twilight falls”), the Versipel (a creature that turns its skin
inside out, like a werewolf), the Mezzotint (from a famous ghost story by
M.R. James), the “hitherandthithering waters of night” from James Joyce's
Finnegans Wake, and the “night-blooming Cereus” (a cactus that supposedly
flowers on only one night of the year).

Raymond Deane is the DEAN of living (and innovative) Irish composers today.
 In January of this year he turned 60 and a number of events celebrating
this occasion have taken place (or are still to take place) throughout
Ireland, including concerts, seminars, and the premiere of his opera “The
Alma Fetish” in Dublin's National Concert Hall.
