Description
Daniel Elms: Bethia [Live]
Influenced by the natural landscape surrounding his Yorkshire hometown, Daniel Elms’ piece for acoustic and electronic instruments celebrates the maritime history of Hull using re-imagined sea shanties and maritime hymns. It is performed alongside projected film footage that has been edited and adapted to create abstract ambience and light. Written for a small group of chamber musicians the music interweaves cross-rhythms and interlocking harmony to create a texture similar to that of a tremulous sea.
This piece is part of PRS Foundation’s New Music Biennial 2017.
