Sound and Music

Night Walking was written at the request of the Society for the Promotion of New Music for its 1997-98 season, under the artistic directorship of Howard Skempton. The first performance was given by members of the ensemble Jane's Minstrels at Christ Church, Spitalfields, on June 16th 1997 as part of the Spitalfields Festival.

A subsequent version (Op35a), substituting alto flute for the original Bb clarinet, was arranged for the ensemble Kokoro, who gave the premiere at The Great Hall, Dartington, in October 2005. The arrangement was selected as the British entry to the 9th Edition International Composition Competition Città di Udine in 2012.
