		MacMillan has said that he loves chamber music, but sees it as a challenge as a composer is at his most exposed when writing it.
		As the movement unrolled, MacMillan explores both this waltz and a high, unison melody that is played in the manner of a Gaelic psalm tune (a group of individuals singing the same tune at the same pitch but at different times).
		MacMillan might feel more exposed when writing such music, but he seems to respond with a strong sense of structure and discipline.

	The MacMillans
		Our MacMillan ancestors were living in the part of Scotland called Wigtownshire at the time they began their emigration, but the MacMillans were one of the ancient clans of Scotland, and the name is very common and tracing them beyond Wigtownshire has proven difficult.
		The Mac in Scottish names means “son of” and in the case of the MacMillans the bald, or tonsured one, refers to the custom of the ancient MacMillan clan of shaving the entire front half of the scalp as a clan tradition.
		The MacMillans were involved in two disastrous (for them) battles at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th centuries.

		A whole evening of MacMillan is a bit of an unknown quantity (or was), and in the end provided a wide-ranging experience.
		Confession of Isobel Gowdie is a remarkable work that calls for MacMillan’s full compositional vocabulary, not least in the way the music becomes, towards the end, increasingly radiant, this radiance being pitted against the most crushing of dissonances.
		MacMillan describes Iona, the island where St Columba died in AD 597, as ‘a place of stark and desolate beauty, a focus of deep spiritual resonance and historical significance’, obviously elements designed to attract MacMillan.

		However, MacMillan is generally a quiet-spoken man, not particularly extrovert in personality, and it is therefore perhaps not surprising to find some gems among his more intimate music, revisited on this disc of chamber works.
		The other piano works on this disc are 'occasional' miniatures, with which MacMillan conjures dreamlike sounds from the piano, incorporating elements of his beloved Scottish folk music and revealing a sense of humour that contrasts with the serious business of most of his scores.
		MacMillan and poet Michael Symmons Roberts tackle the themes of creation and redemption, and the sincerity of their endeavour is in no doubt.

		This in conjunction with MacMillans return to his native land completed the circle so to speak on the three decisive components of MacMillans oeuvre, his political and religious convictions (a Socialist and devout Roman Catholic) and sense of national identity and produced a sudden burst of intense creativity.

		This recording of James MacMillan's Mass is an intense, emotionally charged 70 minutes reflecting the composer's deeply held religious beliefs.
		These are beliefs which, as he has said in commenting on the mood of Mass, are not immune to doubts and fears and an awareness of the "tragedies and uncertainties of our age".
		Macmillan's music is definitely an acquired taste, and at first i was a little dubious - however after listening to it a few times, i found it grew on me. There are some wonderful haunting moments, especially in the Agnus Dei and Christus Vincit and the ending to Seinte Mari Moder Milde is magical.
