"Sir Harrison Birtwistle, CH, who has died aged 87, was one of the most uncompromising British composers of modern times and one of the most difficult to categorise; his abrasive, avant-garde music, often sounding like a dense morass of notes and ideas, baffled the many while delighting the few.

Derogatory remarks such as “It sounds like a load of Birtwistle” or “Birtwistle, I trod in some of that” were for a time commonplace, yet audience resistance was ultimately futile. As his questioning voice become more readily acknowledged, if not understood, and as the composer himself evolved into the grand if grumpy old man of English music, such heresies were quashed. By 2017 even The Daily Telegraph was declaring him “our greatest living composer”.

Two events brought Birtwistle to mainstream public attention: the booing of his opera Gawain at its 1994 Covent Garden revival; and the following year’s Panic, an abrasive work for alto saxophone that opened the second half of the Last Night of the Proms on BBC One, just before Land of Hope and Glory.

The campaign against Gawain, originally written in 1991 and based on the Medieval tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, was led by an anti-modernist group known as the Hecklers who described his music as “sonic sewage”. As the curtain fell on opening night they embarked on a tirade of catcalls, while the composer’s supporters in the stalls cheered ever louder, trying to orchestrate a standing ovation."

It was only within the last few years that I first heard THE TRIUMPH OF TIME.

Best that way -- thematically and harmonically, I was better prepared to appreciate it than I'd have been too early in musical life...

I saw Birtwistle's powerful opera 'The Minotaur' at the ROH, Covent Garden, and was bowled over by it.
It's available on DVD and Blu-ray, and I strongly urge people to give it ago.

Briefly I was thinking this might already be somewhere in the labyrinth of my collection...

But no, I was thinking of an Elliot Carter ballet...thanks, I'll keep that opera in mind.
