- After his Fifth Symphony, Christopher Gunning felt the need to tackle something on an altogether smaller scale; something simpler, more direct, clearer in its orchestration, and in a way more classical than its predecessors. With his Sixth Symphony, he returned to the idea of a single span incorporating several sub-sections, a form which he had already explored in his First, Third, and Fourth Symphonies. As a result, the work feels more like a tone-poem than a conventional symphony. Night Voyage is a sea piece, and was born on a rainy evening standing by the Mersey River. A patch of orange lit the darkening sky and seabirds called mournfully as he watched a large grey freighter slipping majestically out to sea. The result is a tone poem that has obvious parallels with life, depicting a journey through an emotional crisis to a resolution of sorts. The theme of journeying is carried through to his Seventh Symphony. Like the Sixth, the music is continuous but this time falls into six main sections, or phases, all founded in various ways on the rising whole-tone scale heard at the very start. This affects the harmonic language, but the Seventh is also the most directly tonal of all of Gunning s recent pieces.
