Four Perpetual Motions score on sale

The score for my Four Perpetual Motions for ten players is now on sale from Faber Music. I’m very grateful to the estate of László Moholy-Nagy for allowing me to use his wonderful painting Komposition A XXI on the cover.

The piece was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society and first performed by members of the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Rüdiger Bohn in 2013. You can purchase the score from the Faber Music Store, or view it online here.

In other news, I’ve just come back from the Aldeburgh festival, where Claire Booth gave a wonderful first performance of Beautiful Caged Thing on Saturday, with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by George Benjamin, at Aldeburgh’s Snape Maltings Hall. George, Claire and myself are pictured below – it’s been a joy and a privilege to work with these great musicians on a new piece. In addition, London Sinfonietta‘s principal violinist Jonathan Morton gave a performance of my Études Nos. 3 & 4 for solo violin the next day at a festival lunch.
