Silvey's original composition uses the text from Rosy's Journey, a short story by American author Louisa May Alcott. A broad interpretation of the text reflects a plea to be heard, a warning to be vigilant, and a rally to action. Silvey's incessant pulsing rhythms in the accompaniment reflect the urgency of the moment. This unique and empowering choral work is sure to wow audiences.

It is the most mature work of this period written in free polyphonic technique, which combines a linear construction, sometimes expanded to seven-voice polyphony, withrecitative sections of purely tonal character, which are emphasised within the sharpness of interval structure...

Composer's Notes: This piece, written during the winter months of 2000-2001, consists of one movement, Allegro con fuoco, in which an old score is revisited, raided and ravished by its composer. The earlier music had been written in the mid-fifties for a stage work Maratona di Danza and for its maker, the director Luchino Visconti. Elements from the older piece reappear on and off like shadows under the surface of new ones, like more or less vague memories, images of young people suffering pain and despair in their struggle for survival in a barbaric, pitiless modern world. My new composition is a kind of concerto for very large symphony orchestra, an etude on constant and often rapid musical changes of mood and colours, built on a variety of rhythmic figures, incessantly and brutally pushing the music ahead. Sometimes, it is as though voices are weeping, sometimes crying out loud with pain, with anxiety, under the cold hearted pressure of an overwhelming violence. Hans Werner Henze Commissioned on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of das neue werk, Hamburg. Premiered on 29th June 2001. Duration 15 minutes.
