Sir Harrison Birtwistle: The Silkhouse Tattoo (Antiphonies) for 2 solo trumpets and side drums.
Premiered at the ITG Conference in Richmond and two nights later with the London Sinfonietta at the Queen Elizabeth Hall (South Bank) -- as memorable a performance as the Richmond show was not.
John and I recorded it and it will probably make an appearance on iTunes before we all die. Dan Rosenboom and I gave the Los Angeles premiere at the Disney Hall (REDCAT) last year as well.
Harry also wrote Placid Mobile (36 muted trumpets) that summer. Do you remember it?
Great fun, and Harry's a piece of work. Absolutely brilliant (cue Guinness commercial)
Best,
