First performance by Ryland Angel and Lara St John on 28 December 2012, Trinity Wall Street, New York, USA.
Programme Note
Now fatal change, for solo violin and counter-tenor, sets the poem The Blessed Virgin’s Expostulation by Nahum Tate (1652-1715). A meditation on a single moment of trauma, the piece is split into five short movements, each representing a sequentially heightened stage of anguish in the protagonist.
