Programme note

In memoriam is directly inspired by a funeral service I attended earlier this year; though I don’t generally take my inspiration from funerals, I have always been interested in ritual and ritualistic aspects sometimes in the most unusual situations. What I found most intriguing about the service was the inbuilt three movement form and different arcs and trajectories that were present. In no way is In memoriam a musical representation of the particular funeral, rather a response to a compositional stimulus; that being said, hymn-tunes have a habit of creeping into a lot of music…
