Recorded at the premiere on 22 January by Farnborough Symphony Orchestra. Listen here.
FSO is grateful to the sound engineer and producer, Haresh Patel, for recording the premiere live.
FSO performed Mountain Hare in a Scottish themed concert that included Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture and Scottish Symphony.
Mountain Hare was inspired by my research into Mountain Hares in the Cairngorm mountains, Scotland, and was supported by a Finzi Trust Scholarship. There is also a version for violin, cello, piano and clarinet. Bill wrote a travel essay about the research process called Composing in the Cairngorms. You can read extracts from that, and about an intriguing disco ball metaphor for the hare here.
