Gibbons’ Nightmare was composed in December 2001. It was commissioned by Stephen Phillips for the unusual combination of violin, viola and double bass as part of a series of pieces based on Orlando Gibbons’ three part fantasias for viols. In 2022, I made a version of my contribution to the project for violin, cello and double bass. The starting point for the piece was Gibbons’ Fantasia 20. I imagined Gibbons trying to compose his fantasia while suffering ‘earworm’ from Tallis’ famous canon. The music combines material from both pieces, mostly in conflict but eventually a kind of uneasy compromise is reached at the work’s conclusion.
