 Composer

O sleep

O sleep was composed 2016 for Manchester Chamber Choir, conducted by Jonathan Lo.

​

Commissioned for a concert entitled "Miniatures at an Exhibition", O sleep is a response to Vanessa Beecroft's Untitled 1997 (green eye), a work which suggested the intense discomfort of insomnia. The music is at once both the complaint of the insomniac and a lullaby for their comfort.

 

​Premiere - Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, June 2016

​​​​​​​​​​

​Duration: 2 minutes
