Phillip’s music is strongly influenced by his native Lake District and by history. His main musical influences are found in continuing and reconciling a pastoral British tradition.
Transfiguration (2022)
Transfiguration takes a selection of ‘themes’ (some of which are as simple as a chord or a gesture, some of which are more apparent) from Gustav Holst’s 1927 masterpiece Egdon Heath and seeks to transfigure or transform them to a new medium and mode of being in keeping with much of my current work. Egdon Heath has long been a work I have been heavily influenced by and my piece is both a homage and an extension of some of the moods and colours of Holst’s original.
