	Mark-Anthony Turnage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mark-Anthony Turnage (born June 10, 1960 in Corringham, Essex) is an English composer of classical music.
		Turnage's music is often in a characteristic personal style, with strong rhythmic thrust, involved jazz harmonies, colourful orchestration with prominent use of tuned and untuned percussion, and hints of various orchestrational sounds from Duke Ellington to 1970s TV detective series theme tunes.
		In 2006, Turnage was named a co-composer-in-residence of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position which he will hold alongside Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov.

	LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA . TURNAGE
		Mark-Anthony Turnage is a composer with his feet firmly on the ground, less likely to base a new piece on an abstruse technical procedure than on the concept of a lullaby for a new baby, a tune by a jazz colleague, or the chants of a football crowd.
		Turnage was born in 1960 in Corringham, on the Essex shore of the Thames Estuary, and began inventing music to enliven his childhood piano practice.
		Turnage has been lucky (or talented) enough to receive positive acclaim from that establishment, but these days, that doesn't always equate to huge popularity amongst the concert-going and record-buying public, given the shift in cultural attitudes in recent decades.

	Sequenza21/The Contemporary Classical Music Weekly
		Mark-Anthony Turnage rarely plays the piano in public but before Saturday night's performance of his funky masterpiece "Blood on the Floor" at Miller Theater, he played a brief and moving elegy for New York City.
		Turnage is an impressionist with the soul of a poet so each movement is inspired by his emotional reaction to real people, works of art or places--the title suite, for example, was triggered by the seductive and deadly street drug culture of Hamburg.
		Ironically, Turnage says he didn't know when he began to write a work about the destructiveness of drugs that his own brother was a potential victim.

	The work of British composer Mark Anthony Turnage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Turnage was born in Corringham, Essex, in 1960.
		Turnage confessed he approached the event with some trepidation, afraid that by performing his work side by side some dreadful “sameness would be revealed.” In fact, this was not the case.
		Turnage’s work tends to be rather dark: “It is not intentional, but it always seems to come out that way.” His music is full of brooding and melancholy.

	Mark-Anthony Turnage: The Silver Tassie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In what might prove a dramatic error, Harry has little enough time to establish his identity, as the local footballing hero returning to the front, and his absence from the war act limits both the impact of him in his prime and the overall dramatic follow-through.
		Musically impressive though much of this latter act is, with Turnage's writing for strings taking on new expressive potency, the sense remains of a static anti-war tableau, outside the main drama.
		Turnage treats this succession of curt, intense exchanges as a slow-motion scherzo, opening out into the extended dance sequence of the final act.

		Mark-Anthony Turnage, who has been described as "one of the gifted of Britains younger composers", has written a new work especially for clarinettist Michael Collins.
		An official press release reads: "Turnage has known Michael Collins for 30 years and the solo writing sets out to capture his virtuosity and versatility, from a jazzy riff-style in the fast opening movement to reflective lyricism in the arioso-based second.
		The ability of the clarinet to rapidly jump across registers is a characteristic built into the concerto as a whole" The premiere took place in Manchesters Bridgewater Hall on March 3rd, but for all of you who missed it, there's Kazushi Ono's recording of Turnage's Etudes and Elegies (Warner Classics) which is available now.
