a Rupture
for piano
2014
5’
commissioned by the Ryedale Festival
premiered by Claire Hammond
A Rupture was commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the start of World War One. It sets out to capture the sense of the 'break' that 1914 represents in history - a break which saw the end of the world as it was before - aiming to recreate such a 'rupture' in an abstract manner.
