Born
in Bury in 1937, Gordon
Crosse is one of the most
distinguished composers
of his generation. He
studied at Oxford
University under Egon
Wellesz and, during a
long academic career, was
Composer-in-Residence at
King's College Cambridge
from 1973-75. His best
known works include the
oboe concertante Ariadne,
the Three Choirs Festival
Oratorio Changes, the
opera Purgatory, the
children's entertainment
Meet my Folks, to words
by Ted Hughes, the
orchestral Dreamsongs (a
homage to the music of
Benjamin Britten) and
Memories of Morning:
Night (a monodrama for
mezzo-soprano and
orchestra).
Three
Twitchings was first
performed by John Turner
(recorder) and Nathan
Williamson (piano) in the
Library at The Red House,
Aldeburgh, on October 4th
2018. Two scores are
provided, rather than a
separate recorder part,
so that the recorder
player can see and
respond to the pianist's
part as they play.
