for String orchestra
This impressive single-movement score for stings was commissioned by the 1990 Lichfield Festival for the Guildhall String Ensemble and formed a companion piece to the earlier and essentially luminous Greek-inspired Melos for harp, flute, percussion, and strings. The emotional world of Threnos - threnody – explores the concept of grief and loss through a wide variety of contrasted expressions: the music moves from contemplation to anger, from consolation to anguish.
