Joanna MacGregor - Play

Joanna MacGregor's 2002 Mercury Nominated Play is a summing-up of her work in the last ten years: it ranges from the beauty and tranquillity of Elizabethan composers William Byrd and John Dowland through to funky collaborations with tabla genius Talvin Singh and South African jazz pianist Moses Molelekwa; from an intensely dramatic, filmic score written by the young Belgrade composer Ivana Ognjanovic to Nancarrow's wild boogie-woogie study no 11. Also included are the meditative Incarnation II by Japanese composer Somei Satoh and one of Piazzolla's most famous tangos, Libertango.
