  • Research Bulletin
    July 2014 Research Bulletin Published three times a year by RNCM Research & Enterprise. t Daedalus in Flight at the Proms David Horne’s Daedalus in Flight is being performed at the BBC Proms on Friday 25 July. See Prom 10 – Elgar, Walton, Moeran & David Horne. David writes: Daedalus in Flight was first performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Clark Rundell in October 2013 as part of the New Music North West festival. In many respects it is easier to get a first performance than a subsequent one. I’m delighted that it gets another outing so soon as part of the Proms 2014 season on 25 July with the same orchestra under their principal conductor Juanjo Mena. Earlier that day I have three pieces (Caprice, Phantoms and Bagatelles) being performed at the Royal College of Music as part of a Proms Portrait concert, featuring our splendid RNCM students. This will be broadcast after the live Proms transmission. The orchestral work represents a return to the Daedalus myth (the first being my third string quartet, Flight from the Labyrinth) and while the music is purposely non-programmatic, abstract notions of flight are represented through the rapidly shifting orchestral textures and harmonic pacing. As with the majority of my recent works concepts of idiomacy and virtuosity are combined and I’m looking forward to hearing the excellent BBC Philharmonic perform it again. Composers with RNCM connections feature prominently at this year’s Proms: there are new works by alumni Sally Beamish, Gavin Higgins (on the Last Night!) and Simon Holt in addition to celebrations of the work of Sir Harrison Birtwistle and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.

My only reservation was to Stream from wonder if there really was a clientele of those who wanted these two works together, but then I found myself comparing the mood of Furtwängler’s recording of Beethoven’s Fifth (1944) with Strauss’s Metamorphosen, a work which must have been gestating at around the same time and was performed the year after that recording. Also, I had forgotten that the Strauss contains a quotation from the Eroica, as if to call upon the spirit of Beethoven, lost in the war years. Thus, I have negated my own reservations about a recording which Michael Cookson reviewed favourably, prompted myself to look at it again, and now enjoy the coupling much more.
