TARKA THE OTTER has been nominated for a British Composer Award by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. This prestigious award will be announced on 5th December at Glaziers Hall in London.
|
|
Update 6 December 2007 Tarka the Otter - with a libretto by Richard Williams based on the book by Henry williamson - has won the 2007 British Composer Award for Best Stage Work The judges said, "McNeff's score is as lively and engaging a theatrical animal as his feisty hero, Tarka. It effortlessly integrates professional and amateur performers and moves along at a cracking pace. His word setting highlights Henry William's often poignant text beautifully, and the whole evening magically evokes the vanished world of the West Country in the period after World War One.” Thanks to the Two Moors Festival for commissioning the work and to the wonderful cast and orchestra conducted by Nicholas Cleobury. The work will return to Two Moors in 2009 and also tour.
