Robert C. Jordan Archive }{ Five Quiet Songs

This is a series of posts about the music of Robert Christopher Jordan, my dad. He began his musical career as a violinist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra not long after arriving in Canada from England in 1957, but he made his name as a classical guitarist in Vancouver where he remains one of the most respected musicians in the city. He was most active as a performer between the 60s and 80s and was frequently featured on radio and television, most often on the CBC. Most of these recordings haven’t been heard in decades now, gathering dust in the archives if not lost to the ether. I have recently begun the process of tracking them down and will be posting my findings here with each new acquisition.

To begin, here’s a radio broadcast of a duet with singer Gloria Doubleday performing John Duarte’s Five Quiet Songs. I sourced the recording from a reel-to-reel tape in Robert’s private collection, which sounds like it was made by placing a microphone in front of a loudspeaker as the program played live on the air. I have no supporting information about the broadcast, except that it would have aired sometime after 1968 when the music was written. I will update with any new information as it becomes available. For now, enjoy Five Quiet Songs.
