Programme Notes
When I was asked to write a piece for the 50th birthday of the Royal Festival Hall it seemed natural to think of resetting the national anthem. I have always been interested in ceremonial, 'licensed' music because of the resonance it acquires through repetition over a long period and through its use in the marking of formal events. The combination of public display with the private feelings of those who deliver it make it a very rich form.
