| Composers who contributed to "A Garland for Linda" include Sir Paul McCartney, Sir John Tavener, John Rutter, Judith Bingham, David Matthews, Roxanna Panufnik, Michael Berkeley, Giles Swayne, and Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. He was irresistibly drawn to the theater, and one of his last projects--talked about in that final conversation--was the offer of a Broadway show, as well as an elaborate Tristan, with a score to be commissioned from Hans Werner Henze, and a full-evening Othello, with music possibly by Andrzej Panufnik. Although he has choreographed to Mozart and Delibes, he is particularly fond of twentieth-century music, having created ballets to scores by Shostakovitch and Stravinsky, by Darius Milhaud and Andrzej Panufnik, and by British composers Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Walton, Malcolm Arnold, Benjamin Britten, Simon Jeffes, and Gustav Holst. |
