Heartfelt and unambiguous, often straight-up tuneful, the music of Glaswegian composer, folk scholar and socialist Eddie McGuire hasn’t always had the attention it deserves – which makes this survey of chamber works doubly lovely. McGuire’s language takes in minimalism and Romanticism, tango and Gaelic psalms, fiddle tunes and modernism, but the final mix is unfussy and organic. His music is imbued with leftiwing politics but isn’t heavy-handed about it. Elegy is a warm, gritty ballad in memory of McGuire’s father; Euphoria motors along in bright defiance of cold-war pessimism. The String Trio is urgent and animated with beautiful lapping interludes, while Entangled Fortunes is a more introverted tribute to the economic theories of Nobel laureate James Mirrlees, and Quintet 2 is a fragile thing held together by single piano notes and wispy strings. Red Note is the ideal ensemble to champion McGuire’s folk-rich music: the players shift between silvery laments, robust dances and angular squalls in a blink.
