Yet Still Night – single

May 20, 2016

Czech Philharmonic, Robert Ian Winstin, Conductor

Year of Release: 2009
Label: CDBaby

“Yet Still Night for orchestra plays out the dichotomy of outward naiveté/underlying sophistication on a larger scale. You first think this is a lullaby, rocking back and forth between D-flat and B-flat in quarter notes that wander around the orchestra. But this is an urban lullaby, and the nocturnal world intrudes in growing chromatic lines and thickening textures.”

— Kyle Gann (Chamber Music, August, 2003)

“Yet Still Night by Rain Worthington is a haunting symphonic composition that mesmerizes in its opening bars with glowing tonalities and deceptively simple themes. A nocturne which might be imagined in the wee hours of a sleepless night, it develops into a rich web of suspenseful moments as the string section walks the listener through a series of ever opening doors one would rather not look behind. The brass might cry out in alarm at what one might find but the pace continues nonetheless. A series of insistent chromatics propel one forward until the last door is opened and the final cry of release is heard in the brass. Alfred Hitchcock would approve.”

— Therese McNally, Writer and AGMA member

(original release: Masterworks of the New Era, Volume Eleven, ERM-6811)
