Description
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.
'Joyous and ecstatic and searching and evanescent by turns... primitive energy conveyed with the crushing force of a musical juggernaut.' BBC Music Magazine
