Sarah Walker introduces a performance of Giles Swayne's Havoc - a study of the impact of man on the world. Premiered to huge acclaim at the Proms last summer, Havoc is the companion piece to Swayne's Cry of 20 years earlier. Both works were written specially for the BBC Singers - plus various instruments and electronics - and both reflect on the idea of creation.
