About

The experimental female vocal trio Juice Vocal Ensemble joins Resonus Classics for this unique and innovative collection of seasonal and winter music for upper voices. Formed around works written specially for Juice in a call for scores on a wintry theme, the programme of world premiere recordings also contains new works and arrangements by the group’s three members as well as pieces from Simon Speare, Tarik O’Regan, Bernard Hughes David Breslin, and a new commission from composer Emily Hall. Juice are at the forefront of the UK’s experimental/classical scene, performing new vocal music which draws on classical, world music, jazz, folk, pop, improvisation, and theatre. They have been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. Juice love experimenting with various art forms and cross-collaboration: they have had their music choreographed by Maurice Causey, have devised their own live vocal score to the 1916 film The Danger Girl, have performed live for a London College of Fashion Show, and have worked with internationally renowned beatboxers Shlomo and Beardyman. All members are experienced and passionate music educators.

The standouts, though, are Phil Maguire’s /SOUCH/DRON/HUM, a virtuosic play on onomatopoeic wind sounds and fx, and Chris Warner’s dark and bitter arrangement of ‘Blow, blow, thou winter wind’ from As You Like It. A winter’s entertainment …

December 2018

Snow Queens provides copious lessons in how distillation and discipline can be effective even in communal seasonal music. There is a real power to this Yuletide Winterreise through bespoke new commission and homespun arrangements.

4th November 2018

Spare and haunting, consisting of new works or arrangements of old (by Kerry Andrew, Emily Hall, Tarik O’Regan and others) for three high voices – two sopranos and alto: songs of winter (including a few carols, wonderfully refreshed) for a white landscape.
