Composer:
Sir Harrison Birtwistle

Artist(s):
Galliard Ensemble
Richard Shaw

Background: As a trained clarinettist, many of Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s most significant chamber works have been written for wind instruments. The Galliard Ensemble and the highly acclaimed pianist Richard Shaw perform with expertise a varied selection of Birtwistle’s wind ensemble works covering a broad range of instrumentation, influences and structure. Extending from his first published and acknowledged wind ensemble Refrains and Choruses (1957), to the beautiful, melancholic Sad Song (1971) for solo piano, to the Duets for Storab (1983) for two flutes, and to An Interrupted Endless Melody (1991) for oboe and piano. Each piece, though typically Birtwistlian, embraces flavours and influences from composers such as Satie, Vaughan Williams, Stravinsky and Varese, whilst individually exploring the possibilities of varied musical form.
