Contu sion is a concise, poignantly balanced one movement cry of pain. Its structure echoes classical sonata form, with its tight, numb and often repeated opening figure flowering into a much more anguished central section before the terse figure returns transformed yet unassuaged in a bleakly whispered ending in which the cello briefly takes wing.

Speranza is Turnage's most important orchestral score to date, as close to a symphony as any in his output. The four movements are titled by the Arabic, German, Gaelic and Hebrew words for 'hope', yet this optimism appears to be hard-won as if through a century of conflict. The work grew from reflections on the post-Holocaust poetry of Paul Celan, and the music is coloured by lamenting melodies – Palestinian, Jewish and Israeli – supplemented by the use of the Armenian dudak and Eastern European cimbalom. Other than the scherzo-like Irish-themed third movement the mood is brooding with a sequence of processions and variations illuminated by shafts of orchestral light. Full orchestra materials available on hire. Suitable for advanced standard performers.

&ldquo ;Mark-Anthony Turnage's monumental Speranza is an act of prayer which goes straight to the heart...The very act of creation, for these resplendent forces, is an expression of hope, even if the tale it tells is tragic...The final Jewish melody blossoms into a majestic surge, pulling motifs from the work together.” –BBC Music Magazine

Starting with a movement in the composer's most eruptive and jagged style it continues with music of bouncing ebullience whose wayward lyricism incorporates Turnage's characteristically vital bluesy inflections. The second movement places sombre, troubled gestures within an atmosphere of stillness and restraint. A scherzo follows, restless and slithery. But its in the slow, uneasy finale that the note of inner reflection reaches its most personal and eloquently expressive apogee.
