Description
In 2012 I spent most of the year living in a small converted tower overlooking Grotte di Bastro, near Pitigliano, Italy, with (by choice!) no access to radio or television. After a reading of the Aeneid of Virgil, I based this work on Book 5, with its very detailed account of Aeneas’ situalistic sequence of physical contests – more intense and injurious than anything in our comparatively restrained times.
Before each ‘contest’, in which the instrumentalists vie with each other for sheer virtuosity, there is a slow invocation to the Gods, or a processional, and to finish, a hymn of thanksgiving. Peter Maxwell Davies
