The Romans called Ireland Hibernia the ‘land of winter’, and the unique qualities of Irish light inspired this major new work from Donnacha Dennehy, composer and founder of Crash Ensemble.
A celebration of cyclical time, rich with overlapping sounds, colours and rhythms, Land of Winter unfolds across twelve movements or ‘months’, exploring the interplay between light and time from the short days of winter, with their grey skies and glancing sunlight, to the summer months when brightness lingers almost till midnight.
Now based in the US, Dennehy conceived the idea on a trip to Iceland, and this Grammy Award-winning piece – with its sweeping gradations of colour and shade – is a poetic ode to his homeland.
