Summary

Martin Bookspan interviews composer Iain Hamilton. Hamilton talks about his life and career on both sides of the Atlantic, in London and later in New York; about his studies and his seven years experience as an apprentice engineer; about study of music in his spare time; and about the decision to give up engineering and to devote himself to a musical career. The composer discusses each of the following works, excerpts of which are then played during the interview: Amphion (concerto no. 2 for violin and orchestra, first movement), Alastor (for orchestra, third section), Circus (for 2 trumpets and orchestra), Epitaph for this world and time (for three choruses and three organs, text selected from Revelation (King James version)) (1970), Voyage (for horn and chamber orchestra), Paraphrase of the music for organs in Epitaph for this world and time.
