John Ireland’s
Cavatina
for violin and piano, which was probably composed in 1904 and also exists in a slightly expanded organ version (Ref
H384
), shows the composer’s mastery of the popular salon style of the time. Unavailable for many years, it is now reissued in a new edition that includes a scholarly note by Geoffrey Bush, Music Advisor to the John Ireland Trust. The
Cavatina
has been recorded by Lucy Gould and Benjamin Frith on Naxos 8.570507.
NB: The violin and strings version (HL414) which is available for rental is not compatible with this arrangement.
