'Die
hangende Figur ist Judas'
(The hanging figure is
Judas) was commissioned
by Dr. Margitta Giera as
a gift for the German
sculptor Michael Langer.
Hesketh's first ideas for
the work came from a
photograph of the Great
Tympanum carving of the
Last Judgement at St. Foy
Cathedral in Conques,
France showing an image
of the hanged Judas
surrounded by mocking
demons. Two violent outer
movements frame a bleak
central section with each
movement of the piece
unfolds a different
perspective of a swinging
motif, be it a chord, a
gesture or a rhythm. This
is a demanding work which
will challenge the very
best players.
