- Pour plus amples dtails:
Vic Hoyland's energetic and forceful work, In transit, pitches massive orchestral forces against each other; the central mood of the work has been described by the composer as "a joy in generating energy - making numbers dance". The joint inspirations for Vixen are Hoyland's earlier work Fox, an 11th-century Persian philosopher, and the intricate geometries of Muslim architecture. This wide-ranging work for large orchestra contrasts the dark and sensuous orchestral textures of Mahler with exotically Messiaenic percussion.
