Antagony
1993
Based on the conflicts and unities within a young couple’s relationship, Antagony was the winning work of 1993-1994 BBC Young Musician of the Year Composers Award, and was composed when I was 16 at school at Christ’s Hospital.
It calls for a very unusual and barely practical instrumentation, but this was still somehow managed by the BBC and the London Sinfonietta, (conducted by Martyn Brabbins) on a day that I will always remember.
