Just a whisker after the 1930s, since you ask! Hope that helps!
Cor! Must be Geoffrey Burgon!

Cor! Must be Geoffrey Burgon! Sadly, Geoffrey Burgon died in 2010. So....not him. I am not terribly knowledgeable about modern British composers who are not symphonists. As I am deducing that this may be a composer whose idiom became much more "advanced" as he got older I doubt very much whether I shall be able to identify him.......certainly without more clues ::)

Alistaur.....I give up :-[ You make me sound like a prehistoric creature (which I'm not quite - yet...) Well, it was at least something of a clue. I'll give you another one; his surname is rather longer than that of most other English composers born in the 1940s that spring to mind. That ought to give it away!

Tired of this. I'd not realised that you were involved in it!

Brian Ferneyhough ???
It MUST be Ferneyhough. He composed an Adagissimo for string quartet for Tippett's 80th birthday!! .....and he has a BEARD!!
He wrote a Symphony in B flat ??? ??? ::) ::) ::)
.........yep!! Written when he was 16.
I doubt that I have ever heard a note of Ferneyhough's music ::)
.....oh well-I got there in the end ;D

.....oh well-I got there in the end ;D You are indeed correct! I doubt that any of us will ever hear it, though! Never mind, we will at last be able to hear Tippett's Symphony in B flat, of which he seemed quite proud for some time before the poor reception of its score might have contributed to his ultimate disavowal of it; that should prove interesting at the very least.

A shame!
I have heard some of Ferneyhough's music, and find it, let's say, invigorating. A thing I have noticed is that when anything by Ferneyhough is on a concert programme, there seems to be a dedicated claque in attendance, who applaud very loudly. I am suspicious that this is a statement along the lines of, "Look at me, I'm clever enough to appreciate this".

There appears arguably to be the risk of such a danger with the performance of certain music and it is an unfortunate as it is unwelcome and serves to contribute towards a sense of divisiveness at the very least.

Can we call this one Tippett's Symphony No.0?
Like Bruckner ??? (And yes I do know that the Study Symphony in F minor is sometimes referred to as the Symphony No. 00). I am not sure how far Tippett would value the comparison ??? But maybe he would.

It is being given its first performance in Glasgow on Thursday 1st February 2018 by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Martyn Brabbins. I am planning to attend :) I presume that the concert will be broadcast. The recording should be made around the same time. When it is issued is of course anyone's guess!
