Programme Note
Tansy Davies’ ever-changing, spiky rhythmic patterns in salt box bristle against the conceptual and bold simplicity of Gerald Barry’s work. Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Gavin Bryars is one of the most moving works you can experience in a concert hall, while Louis Andriessen’s Workers Union thrills with its driving force.
All four composers are firmly in the orbit of CoMA having written open-scored works for the group that are accessible yet rewarding, both to hear and to play. Tonight, the professional players of London Sinfonietta will give memorable performances.
