In the late 1970s Birtwistle lived on the island of Raasay off the west coast of Scotland. He was disappointed to discover that due to centuries of Scottish Presbyterian prohibition there was no surviving indigenous musical culture although there were echoes of a past spirit of music. In “The Tree of Spirits” he has attempted to evoke that spirit of music – what could have survived musically in a hostile environment where performances were banned and where music must have been sustained through a purely oral tradition.

Chorale (2001–02) for orchestra is a kind of musical meditation on the chorale Es ist genug from Bach’s cantata O Ewigkeit du Donnerwort itself a harmonisation of J R Ahle’s 1662 hymn. Nick Kimberley’s preface outlines the context of the Bach original and refers to Alban Berg’s use of the chorale in his Violin Concerto almost 300 years later. In contrast to both of these works Lindberg’s Chorale has no extra-musical agenda. The composer explains that he took the harmonic structure of the chorale and embedded it in his own harmonies. “I make an analogy with the rise and fall of the tide. When the tide is in the sea-bed is invisible; but when the tidegoes out you see the rock formation on the sea-bed.” Tribute is a short show-piece for full orchestra composed in 2004 as a gift to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
