Composer of the Week: Thea Musgrave

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Thea Musgrave has been largely concerned with the theatricality inherent in music, and her early ventures in concerto form introduced the notion of "space music", with soloists moving around the orchestra. Brian Morton talks to the composer about her concern to convey the dramatic aspects of music within an abstract framework.
