INhabitAT is one of the most ambitious and large-scale of any music I have written. Four of my favourite landscapes, two in England and the others in Portugal and Australia, are the core of the inspiration for a set of 12 movements for choir and large chamber orchestra. Because of the complexity of the sources, the amount of representational and abstract notations are more elaborate and plentiful than is usual in my pre-compositional drawings. The title of the work plays with notions of being IN a place; AT one with that habitat, and, of course, my habit of responding with as many modes of self-expression to something living and changing!

INhabitAT will be recorded in March by the BBC Singers and members of Psappha, and broadcast on BBC Radio 3 later in the year.
