In A Brother Abroad, Martin Bussey’s rich compositional voice vividly brings to life the fascinating figure of Peter of Bologna, a fourteenth-century Franciscan bishop. This compelling new recording showcases baritone Marcus Farnsworth, soprano Alison Rose, and an ensemble led by pianist Libby Burgess, alongside Emma Halnan (flute), George Strivens (french horn), and Stephen Burke (percussion). The text, written by Anthony Pinching, draws on historical sources, and Bussey’s music deftly balances moments of spirituality, political intrigue, and celebration.
This album also features songs cycles A Chainless Soul and Children of Adam with texts by Emily Brontë and Walt Whitman respectively, and highlights Bussey’s flair for dramatic storytelling and his deep connection to English song, cementing his reputation as a distinctive contemporary voice.
