Gait
Composer Nico Muhly had a mad, brilliant idea for a new piece this year. He looked at the world around him, at the way people and animals, even insects, moved around. And the more he thought about it, about the rhythm and grace and power involved in getting from point A to point B, the more he thought he could make music out of it. And he was right. Today, we'll hear the world premiere of Gait, by Nico Muhly, from a concert last month at the Proms in London.
