Colin Matthews

Composer

Matthews can handle grandeur and intimacy with equal skill.

— Fiona Maddocks, The Observer

Elegeia (1998). 14 players

Chris van Kampen was one of the first professional musicians I met, in 1968; a piece of mine for the Nash Ensemble, Elegiac Chaconne, was the last new work he played, shortly before his death in September 1997. As a tribute to him, I have recomposed it for a much larger ensemble, although the cello remains silent. Chris’s musicianship and his commitment to new music were beyond praise.

Elegeia is one of Two Tributes.
