	Malcolm Williamson 70th birthday
		To be a Pilgrim - Malcolm Williamson at 70
		Williamson's music speaks fluently and with complete immediacy, whether 'popular' or 'severe' in tone, and so it is ironic that such a cogent and highly nuanced means of expression seems often (for critics, at least) to have concealed the profound seriousness of what he has to say about the human condition.
		Williamson was struck by the juxtaposition of this imposing memorial, inscribed with the names of the death camps, with the adjacent Jewish school, where children were playing.

		Malcolm Williamson originally designated his Sinfonia Concertante as Symphony no 2, but owing to the concertante nature of the solo instruments of three trumpets and piano as distinct from the string orchestra, he changed the title.
		To compensate for this, Malcolm Williamson concentrates on rhythmic diversity with the use of cross rhythms in particular characterising the piece.
		Though Malcolm Williamson has lived in England for the best part of fifty years, a glance at the titles and first performance venues of many of his works serves to confirm that he is at heart an Australian.

		To the majority of the musical public, Williamson was an Australian composer who scooped the honour and title of Master of the Queen's Music.
		That he was better known to the music professional than the listener was, probably, due to the respect received from compatriots for both his keyboard virtuosity as much as his creative wizardry.
		Born in Sydney on 21 November 1931, Williamson studied composition with Sir Eugene Goossens at the Sydney Conservatorium.

		Although Williamson had studied serialism and championed the organ music of Messiaen, the music on the present release suggests that Williamson was more interested in creating compositions that would be accessible to a broad audience.
		However, Williamson appears to be a talented composer who understood the importance of connecting with his audience.

		To some British musicians, says Malcolm Williamson, an Australian composer is like a kangaroo at Court — a complete contradiction in terms.
		In another Williamson work produced at Newport, a nonet for five players and four dancers, long sequences of butter-would-melt tunefulness suddenly gave way to a perky hell-for-leather style reminiscent of Stravinsky's acidulous neoclassicism.
		Williamson is particularly enthusiastic about his operatic output, which already includes not only small, occasional pieces such as Prince, but also a fullscale, splashy setting of Novelist Graham Greene's spy fantasy, Our Man in Havana.

		Williamson wrote - among other works - six ballets, nine operas, seven symphonies and four piano concertos.
		As with the motion picture version, Williamson had to balance grimmer music for dramatic portions of the opera - about a vacuum cleaner salesman in pre-Castro Cuba who becomes an unwilling British agent - with lighter music for humorous sections.
