Locke's Theatre, an orchestral work in three short movements, takes as its departure point incidental music written for Shakespeare's The Tempest by the seventeenth-century English composer Matthew Locke. Aspects of Locke's idiosyncratic and daringly advanced harmonic and rhythmic language were to be adopted (some might say perfected) by his younger friend and protege Henry Purcell. But it is the very rawness and directness of Locke's theatre music that I wished to acknowledge and emulate. In each of my work's three movements - entitled respectively 'The First Music', 'Rustic Music', and 'Curtain Music (with Storm)' - the baroque originals, though very often submerged, remain a constant, shadowy presence. Locke's Theatre was commissioned by the Aldeburgh Festival to mark the centenary of Benjamin Britten's birth. -Ryan Wigglesworth.

The Blumine movement included in the original five-movement version of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 was long considered lost. Composed as early as 1884 for a theater piece, Mahler inserted it into the symphony as its second movement in 1888. After three performances, he turned his back on this Love Episode, calling the sentimental, gushing movement a youthful folly, and removed it. Mahler's Hamburg autograph score was only rediscovered in 1966. Benjamin Britten gave the Blumine movement a new hearing at the 1967 Aldeburgh Festival. The critical new edition is based for the first time on the autograph score, together with the meanwhile rediscovered score copy with Mahler's last revisions.The cloth-bound volume PB 5661 contains next to the final version of the four-movement Symphony, the Blumine movement.First edition based on the copy of the score revised by Mahler Hamburg 1893.

A Garland of Carols is a homage to Benjamin Britton's Ceremony of Carols. Written by Anthony Bolton, best known as one of the UK's most successful fund managers, it includes a translation of the traditional Portuguese carol Beijai o menino, as well as original works such as Lanterns which evokes a barren winter landscape from which we are transported to a more mystical land in the middle section. Though originally written for trebles, the carols work equally well for female voices. This is the harp part only.
