Extract

Philip Grange has been an outstandingly successful young composer by any standard. He has a large number of works to his credit, commissions which look like occupying him for some time, and his works are receiving regular performances. Critically he has been described as a ‘distinctive … bright new talent, with a strong music concept beautifully worked out’ (Times, June 1980) and ‘a new and individual compositional voice’ (Daily Telegraph, January 1981). These were both descriptions of the work with which he first attracted attention in London. Cimmerian Nocturne was composed in 1979, commissioned by The Fires of London, and received a performance on the 7 August as part of the Proms season.
