Gavin discovered that this fragment – a few lines from a misremembered gospel song – was accurate in pitch. He set about building an exquisite, swelling arrangement of brass and strings around it, a process that he has likened to setting a jewel. First performed in 1972, it was then recorded for Brian Eno’s Obscure label. A later version featured Tom Waits’ vocals. More recently, Gavin directed a 12-hour overnight performance in London’s Tate Modern. Inspired by the story that the ship’s band continued to perform as it slid beneath the waves, <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">The Sinking of the Titanic</em> imagines how the sound would reverberate through the medium of water. ‘The music goes through a number of different states, reflecting an implied slow descent to the ocean bed’, says Gavin.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">7pm In conversation with Gavin Bryars</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg" class="img-hyperlink" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34046" src="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg.webp" width="296" height="127" alt="" style="margin:5px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border-width:0px;float:none;height:auto;" /></a></span> </p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/venue-information/cavatina-scheme/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;">FREE TICKETS FOR 8-25 YEAR OLDS TO SELECTED CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS</a></span> Through the generous support of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust, we are able to offer young people aged 8-25 the fantastic opportunity to experience selected concerts absolutely free.<br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML
