S0998 |

"John Newell's Variations on Amazing Graze is a powerful and moving work. Starting with the hymn in it's simplest form, it takes the listener through a wide range of styles and sonorities: from gospel textures and bell-like clusters, to the Chopinesque, yet retaining all the while an organic cohesion. It is a worthy work to program, for audiences experienced with new music or not, as it gently bridges readily accessible musical language with new tonal landscapes. It was my pleasure to premiere it. It deserves to be performed more!"
