Errollyn Wallen: Rapture (1998)

Ellen Ruth rose, viola
Michael Seth Orland, piano

On Rapture:
I was commissioned to write this piece by Malcolm Allison and the Cockermouth Music Society. It was premiered by Malcolm Allison and pianist Tim Lissimore in December 1998 and recorded by BBC Television for broadcast in a new music series starting in May. Malcolm played on my album Meet Me At Harold Moore's so I got to know him and him musical personality very well.

Rapture is in one continuous movement and I was preoccupied with the idea and expression of expansion, stretching upwards and flying. At one point in the piece there is a reference to Celtic music, and it was only on the day of the premiere, which took place in Cumbria, that I discovered that on a clear day, one could look over the horizon and see the hills of Scotland.
