On
your mark...get
set...GO!!! British
sprinter Linford Christie
used to say that he
started his races not
merely at the 'band' of
the starting pistol, but
at the B of the Band.
Capture the spirit of a
fast-paced road race in
this challenging work by
Peter
Meechan.
Bang 2
has two closely related
reference points for its
title. A quotation from
the legendary British
Sprinter, Linford
Christie, was the initial
starting point for the
piece. Christie used to
say that he started his
races not merely at the
'bang' of the starting
pistol, but at the B of
the Bang. 'B of the Bang'
is also the name of a
prominent sculpture
(again named after the
Christie quote) in the
composer's home city,
Manchester, England.
Designed by Thomas
Heatherwick, it is the
tallest self-supporting
sculpture in the United
Kingdom and was
constructed close to the
City of Manchester
Stadium in order to
commemorate the success
of the 2002 Commonwealth
Games.
