Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars. It is formed on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief stanza. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza. The piece was first recorded for use in a documentary which chronicles street life in and around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo, in London. When later listening to the recordings, Bryars noticed the clip was in tune with his piano and that it conveniently looped into 13 bars.[2] For the first LP recording, Bryars was limited to a duration of 25 minutes; with the invention of the cassette tape, Bryars was able to complete a 60-minute version of the piece; and later, with the advent of the CD, a 74-minute version.
Bryars says:
In 1971, when I lived in London, I was working with a friend, Alan Power, on a film about people living rough in the area around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo Station. In the course of being filmed, some people broke into drunken song - sometimes bits of opera, sometimes sentimental ballads - and one, who in fact did not drink, sang a religious song "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet". This was not ultimately used in the film and I was given all the unused sections of tape, including this one.
When I played it at home, I found that his singing was in tune with my piano, and I improvised a simple accompaniment. I noticed, too, that the first section of the song - 13 bars in length - formed an effective loop which repeated in a slightly unpredictable way. I took the tape loop to Leicester, where I was working in the Fine Art Department, and copied the loop onto a continuous reel of tape, thinking about perhaps adding an orchestrated accompaniment to this. The door of the recording room opened on to one of the large painting studios and I left the tape copying, with the door open, while I went to have a cup of coffee. When I came back I found the normally lively room unnaturally subdued. People were moving about much more slowly than usual and a few were sitting alone, quietly weeping.
I was puzzled until I realised that the tape was still playing and that they had been overcome by the old man's singing. This convinced me of the emotional power of the music and of the possibilities offered by adding a simple, though gradually evolving, orchestral accompaniment that respected the tramp's nobility and simple faith. Although he died before he could hear what I had done with his singing, the piece remains as an eloquent, but understated testimony to his spirit and optimism."
This is only for listening "pleasure", those who like this song probably have it, I uploaded it because there was no full version of it on youtube yet, I didn't put any visuals, because the audio is the most important here.

PROGRAMME NOTE:
The Sinking of the Titanic originated in a sketch written for an exhibition in support of beleaguered art students at Portsmouth in 1969. Working as I was in an art college environment, I was interested to see what might be the musical equivalent of a work of conceptual art. It was not until 1972 that I made a performing version of the piece for a performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
The materials used in this work are derived from research and speculations about the sinking of the "unsinkable" luxury liner. At 11:40PM, on April 14, 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank at 2:20 AM on April 15. Of the 2201 people on board, only 711 survived. The starting point for this piece was the reported fact of the band having played a hymn tune in the final moments of the ship's sinking. A number of other features of the disaster, which generate musical or sounding performance material, or which 'take the mind to other regions', are also included. The final hymn played during those last 5 minutes of the ship's life is identified in an account by Harold Bride, the junior wireless operator, in an interview for the New York Times on April 19, 1912.
This Episcopal hymn, then, becomes a basic element of the music and is subject to a variety of treatments. Bride did not hear the band stop playing and it would appear that the musicians continued to play even as the water enveloped them. My initial speculations centered, therefore, on what happens to music as it is played in water. On a purely physical level, of course, it simply stops since the strings would fail to produce much of a sound (it was a string sextet that played at the end, since the two pianists with the band had no instruments available on the Boat Deck). On a poetic level, however, the music, once generated in water, would continue to reverberate for long periods of time in the more sound-efficient medium of water. The music would then descend with the ship to the ocean bed and remain there, repeating over and over until the ship returns to the surface and the sounds re-emerge. (GB)
Gavin Bryars (1960)
Born in Yorkshire in 1943, Gavin Bryars began his career as a jazz bassist and pioneer of free improvisation with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He subsequently worked in the USA with John Cage and in Britain alongside Cornelius Cardew. His early iconic works The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) enjoyed major recording success in various versions. He has written extensively for the stage, including three full-length operas and dance works for, amongst others, Merce Cunningham, Edouard Lock and William Forsythe. Bryars has a long list of instrumental, orchestral and vocal works to his credit for artists such as the Hilliard Ensemble, Red Byrd, Trio Mediaeval, the Latvian Radio Choir and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bryars currently divides his residences between Leicestershire, UK and Metchosin, British Columbia. Gavin Bryars continues to perform internationally with his own ensemble.

The Fifth Century
The Crossing
PRISM Saxophone Quartet
Donald Nally, conductor
The music of English composer Gavin Bryars has long managed the distinction of being both “accessible and defiantly personal” (The New York Times). A deep yet unsentimental emotional resonance and a patient, contemplative view of time – whether relating to harmonic rhythm or human experience – are complementary characteristics that run through his instrumental, vocal and theatrical catalog like a red thread, the composer inspired by disparate spirits from Wagner and Satie to Cage and Silvestrov. The ECM New Series released multiple recordings of Bryars’ music in the 1980s and early ’90s, including the classic albums After the Requiem and Vita Nova. The first full ECM album from Bryars in decades is The Fifth Century, which includes the seven-part title work: a slowly evolving – yet immediately involving – setting of words by 17th-century English mystic Thomas Traherne, performed by the mixed choir of The Crossing with saxophone quartet PRISM. The album also features Two Love Songs, luminous a cappella settings of Petrarch for the women of The Crossing.

Gavin Bryars
Richard Gavin Bryars (/ˈɡævɪn braɪərz/; born 16 January 1943) is an English composer and double bassist. He has been active in, or has produced works in, a variety of styles of music, including jazz, free improvisation, minimalism, historicism, experimental music, avant-garde and neoclassicism.
Early life and career
Born in Goole, in East Yorkshire, England, Bryars studied philosophy at Sheffield University but became a jazz bassist during his three years as a philosophy student.
The first musical work for which he is remembered was his role as bassist in the trio Joseph Holbrooke, alongside guitarist Derek Bailey and drummer Tony Oxley. The trio began by playing relatively traditional jazz before moving into free improvisation. However, Bryars became dissatisfied with this when he saw a young bassist (later revealed to be Johnny Dyani) play in a manner which seemed to him to be artificial, and he became interested in composition instead.
Bryars's first works as a composer owe much to the New York School of John Cage (with whom he briefly studied), Morton Feldman, Earle Brown and minimalism. One of his earliest pieces, The Sinking of the Titanic (1969), is an indeterminist work which allows the performers to take a number of sound sources related to the sinking of the RMS Titanic and make them into a piece of music. The first recording of this piece appeared on Brian Eno's Obscure Records in 1975. The 1994 recording of this piece was remixed by Aphex Twin as Raising the Titanic (later collected on the 26 Mixes for Cash album).

Gavin Bryars - Jesus Blood never failed me yet (full, audio only, no visual)
Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars. It is formed on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief stanza. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza. The piece was first recorded for use in a documentary which chronicles street life in and around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo, in London. When later listening to the recordings, Bryars noticed the clip was in tune with his piano and that it conveniently looped into 13 bars.[2] For the first LP recording, Bryars was limited to a duration of 25 minutes; with the invention of the cassette tape, Bryars was able to complete a 60-minute version of the piece; and later, with the advent of the CD, a 74-minute version. Bryars says: In 1971, when I lived in London, I...

Gavin Bryars: The Fifth Century (Trailer)
Gavin Bryars The Fifth Century The Crossing PRISM Saxophone Quartet Donald Nally, conductor The music of English composer Gavin Bryars has long managed the distinction of being both “accessible and defiantly personal” (The New York Times). A deep yet unsentimental emotional resonance and a patient, contemplative view of time – whether relating to harmonic rhythm or human experience – are complementary characteristics that run through his instrumental, vocal and theatrical catalog like a red thread, the composer inspired by disparate spirits from Wagner and Satie to Cage and Silvestrov. The ECM New Series released multiple recordings of Bryars’ music in the 1980s and early ’90s, including the classic albums After the Requiem and Vita Nova. The first full ECM album from Bryars in decades ...

Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars. It is formed on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief stanza. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza. The piece was first recorded for use in a documentary which chronicles street life in and around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo, in London. When later listening to the recordings, Bryars noticed the clip was in tune with his piano and that it conveniently looped into 13 bars.[2] For the first LP recording, Bryars was limited to a duration of 25 minutes; with the invention of the cassette tape, Bryars was able to complete a 60-minute version of the piece; and later, with the advent of the CD, a 74-minute version.
Bryars says:
In 1971, when I lived in London, I was working with a friend, Alan Power, on a film about people living rough in the area around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo Station. In the course of being filmed, some people broke into drunken song - sometimes bits of opera, sometimes sentimental ballads - and one, who in fact did not drink, sang a religious song "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet". This was not ultimately used in the film and I was given all the unused sections of tape, including this one.
When I played it at home, I found that his singing was in tune with my piano, and I improvised a simple accompaniment. I noticed, too, that the first section of the song - 13 bars in length - formed an effective loop which repeated in a slightly unpredictable way. I took the tape loop to Leicester, where I was working in the Fine Art Department, and copied the loop onto a continuous reel of tape, thinking about perhaps adding an orchestrated accompaniment to this. The door of the recording room opened on to one of the large painting studios and I left the tape copying, with the door open, while I went to have a cup of coffee. When I came back I found the normally lively room unnaturally subdued. People were moving about much more slowly than usual and a few were sitting alone, quietly weeping.
I was puzzled until I realised that the tape was still playing and that they had been overcome by the old man's singing. This convinced me of the emotional power of the music and of the possibilities offered by adding a simple, though gradually evolving, orchestral accompaniment that respected the tramp's nobility and simple faith. Although he died before he could hear what I had done with his singing, the piece remains as an eloquent, but understated testimony to his spirit and optimism."
This is only for listening "pleasure", those who like this song probably have it, I uploaded it because there was no full version of it on youtube yet, I didn't put any visuals, because the audio is the most important here.

PROGRAMME NOTE:
The Sinking of the Titanic originated in a sketch written for an exhibition in support of beleaguered art students at Portsmouth in 1969. Working as I was in an art college environment, I was interested to see what might be the musical equivalent of a work of conceptual art. It was not until 1972 that I made a performing version of the piece for a performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
The materials used in this work are derived from research and speculations about the sinking of the "unsinkable" luxury liner. At 11:40PM, on April 14, 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank at 2:20 AM on April 15. Of the 2201 people on board, only 711 survived. The starting point for this piece was the reported fact of the band having played a hymn tune in the final moments of the ship's sinking. A number of other features of the disaster, which generate musical or sounding performance material, or which 'take the mind to other regions', are also included. The final hymn played during those last 5 minutes of the ship's life is identified in an account by Harold Bride, the junior wireless operator, in an interview for the New York Times on April 19, 1912.
This Episcopal hymn, then, becomes a basic element of the music and is subject to a variety of treatments. Bride did not hear the band stop playing and it would appear that the musicians continued to play even as the water enveloped them. My initial speculations centered, therefore, on what happens to music as it is played in water. On a purely physical level, of course, it simply stops since the strings would fail to produce much of a sound (it was a string sextet that played at the end, since the two pianists with the band had no instruments available on the Boat Deck). On a poetic level, however, the music, once generated in water, would continue to reverberate for long periods of time in the more sound-efficient medium of water. The music would then descend with the ship to the ocean bed and remain there, repeating over and over until the ship returns to the surface and the sounds re-emerge. (GB)
Gavin Bryars (1960)
Born in Yorkshire in 1943, Gavin Bryars began his career as a jazz bassist and pioneer of free improvisation with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He subsequently worked in the USA with John Cage and in Britain alongside Cornelius Cardew. His early iconic works The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) enjoyed major recording success in various versions. He has written extensively for the stage, including three full-length operas and dance works for, amongst others, Merce Cunningham, Edouard Lock and William Forsythe. Bryars has a long list of instrumental, orchestral and vocal works to his credit for artists such as the Hilliard Ensemble, Red Byrd, Trio Mediaeval, the Latvian Radio Choir and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bryars currently divides his residences between Leicestershire, UK and Metchosin, British Columbia. Gavin Bryars continues to perform internationally with his own ensemble.

Gavin Bryars
The Fifth Century
The Crossing
PRISM Saxophone Quartet
Donald Nally, conductor
The music of English composer Gavin Bryars has long managed the distinction of being both “accessible and defiantly personal” (The New York Times). A deep yet unsentimental emotional resonance and a patient, contemplative view of time – whether relating to harmonic rhythm or human experience – are complementary characteristics that run through his instrumental, vocal and theatrical catalog like a red thread, the composer inspired by disparate spirits from Wagner and Satie to Cage and Silvestrov. The ECM New Series released multiple recordings of Bryars’ music in the 1980s and early ’90s, including the classic albums After the Requiem and Vita Nova. The first full ECM album from Bryars in decades is The Fifth Century, which includes the seven-part title work: a slowly evolving – yet immediately involving – setting of words by 17th-century English mystic Thomas Traherne, performed by the mixed choir of The Crossing with saxophone quartet PRISM. The album also features Two Love Songs, luminous a cappella settings of Petrarch for the women of The Crossing.

Programme Note
Originating as the musical equivalent of a work of conceptual art, this piece has various performing versions, often arising from particular occasions and environments. All the materials used are derived from research and speculations about the sinking of the "unsinkable" liner on April 14th 1912 after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage. The initial starting point was the reported fact of the band playing the hymn tune "Autumn" in the final moments of the ship's sinking, together with other features of the disaster which generate musical or sounding performance material or which 'take the mind to other regions'. One idea is that the music would continue after the sinking and repeat over and over, fainter and fainter, until the ship returns to the surface. There was also a curious report at the time that one of the rescue ships received a radio message from the Titanic 1 hour and 28 minutes after it had finally gone beneath the waves.
Other material is superimposed on the hymn tune, including fragments of interviews with survivors, Morse sequences, musical references to different possible tunes for the hymn, the sound of the iceberg's impact, and so on.
About Gavin Bryars
Gavin Bryars has continually shunned convention, choosing to create his own distinctive and unique path: He studied philosophy at Sheffield University and became a professional jazz bassist and a pioneer of free improvisation working especially with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. In the late 1960s he worked with John Cage and this influenced his early works. He has formed fruitful collaborations with international artists from across the spectrum, from Merce Cunningham and William Forsyth to Juan Munoz and Robert Wilson. The Gavin Bryars Ensemble and GB Records continue to document his work. Serene, graceful and achingly beautiful, his music is characterised by a sense of contemplation that is revealed through harmony of underlying depth.

Some notes by Gavin Bryars:
Sub Rosa (1986)
I wrote Sub Rosa for a concert in the Flanders Festival in Belgium in the autumn of 1986. Shortly before that time I had made my first recording with ECM (Three Viennese Dancers) and had been given a number of recordings that ECM had made over the years. Among these was a solo album by Bill Frisell called In Line, which I liked very much. I was particularly fond of the second track, Throughout, which I used to play on headphones during take-off on plane journeys to overcome my fear of flying.
Sub Rosa is an extended paraphrase of and comment on this piece. I made a transcription of Bill’s solo and combined phrases in new ways, added others, altered the harmonic rhythm, and changed the instrumentation to fit that of my ensemble at the time. The room in the art gallery where we played was adjacent to a large circular room which had an astonishingly long reverberation time, and I placed the descant recorder in that off-stage space. Just as the distant recorder (a part now taken by the electric guitar) is generally paired with the clarinet, so the solo violin is initially mixed with the bowed vibraphone giving an equivalent sense of distance.
When Bill Frisell and I met for the first time in Leicester during his British tour we had a meal together at the Curry Fever Restaurant and he listened to the Belgian recording on headphones between courses. “It was,” he said, “like some crazy dream”. Later Bill and I collaborated on a subsequent recording project for ECM (After the Requiem). Sub Rosa is the music for the extraordinary final part of William Forsythe’s Slingerland for the Frankfurt Ballet where he takes the music into a further dreamlike state by having all the dancers move slowly through space supported by fly wires.
The piece is dedicated to Bill Frisell.
By the Vaar (1987)
By the Vaar was written as an extended adagio for the jazz bass player Charlie Haden accompanied by strings, bass clarinet and percussion. It was commissioned by the Camden Festival and first performed there in April 1987 along with a number of other works of mine having a close connection with jazz.
The solo bass part, which begins with fully written material and gradually leads to an extended improvisation, was written with Charlie Haden’s sound in mind. I have known Charlie’s playing since the time when, as a schoolboy in Yorkshire, I heard broadcasts of the extraordinary first recordings of the Ornette Coleman quartet, of which Charlie was a key member and, curiously enough, the other composer featured in that Camden concert was Ornette himself.
When I became a professional bassist working chiefly in jazz and improvised music I knew the individual sounds of most improvising bass-players and Charlie’s sound is a special one that I have heard and loved in many musical contexts. The title of the piece comes from my opera Doctor Ox’s Experiment: the “Vaar” being a river in Flanders, not far from Bruges, which flows through the town in which the action of the opera takes place.
During the opera there is a quiet and almost uneventful interlude where two lovers, Frantz and Suzel, pass the afternoon by the river, the one fishing, the other working on her tapestry. By the Vaar started out as a preliminary sketch for this scene, like a backdrop for the singers, and aspects of the music appear in the final opera. In this concert work, the solo bass plays chiefly in the low and middle registers, exploiting the unique qualities of Charlie’s own bass, with its gut strings and resonant pizzicato notes.

This song was sung for my ATCL Singing Diploma exam - I had to submit it, as it wasn't part of Trinity College London's repertoire list.
Luckily it was accepted, even though it is unaccompanied.
'Laude' (meaning: 'songs' in Italian) were Medieval works for unaccompanied voice, set to sacred texts - but not associated with any church.
Gavin Bryars' Laude are based on such a 13th C. Cortona collection. In these compositions of his, Medieval Chant is seen from a contemporary perspective - so the 'old' is the 'new'.
This Lauda (song), composed 2002 is an incantation to the Virgin Mary.
Gavin Bryars says about his 'Laude';
"I relish the challenge of writing something so exposed, so naked and unadorned, where I cannot hide behind, say, a skillfully orchestrated accompaniment. Like a painter who has hitherto had the luxury of painting massive canvases with dense oils, being obliged to work in pen and ink, in black and white, on a simple piece of paper. And like a Zen artist, refusing the possibility of revision and correction."
I thank Greg Tricker and Claudia Behr very much for letting me use photos of their beautiful Mary Icons and also Greg's Mary sculpture, to accompany my singing. (You can see Greg's work between 2.09-2.35 on the video and also at 3.06-3.19. Claudia Behr's 'Mother of God Icon', you can find between 1.29-1.37).
The translation of the Latin words are as follows:
Most exalted light, shining with great glory, in you, sweet love,
is our consolation.
Hail, queen and maiden full of love, the star of the sea which does not keep hidden, divine light, gracious virtue, exquisite beauty, you are the image of God.
Most exalted light.....etc.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, you are the way which leads us to life;
You have rescued from darkness and punishment, the earthly race, which was in great peril.
Most exalted light etc.
Pure virgin with all beauty, your greatness is without limit: you have willingly borne our nature which was vile through our many sins.
Most exalted light....etc.
Many thanks for listening and watching!

Gavin Bryars interviewed by Paul Morley: ‘The Sinking of the Titanic’
Extract from a discussion at the Royal Academy of Music, London in February 2016. Composer Gavin Bryars talks with writer and broadcaster Paul Morley about the enduring fascination with the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic. ‘The Sinking of the Titanic’ could be considered as the musical equivalent of a piece of conceptual art: about an idea, not necessarily a sound, style or genre. The ship sank at 2.20am, while the band played on – the wireless operator reports that they played a hymn until the very end. Gavin Bryars talks about the research he undertook before writing his iconic work.

PROGRAMME NOTE:
The Sinking of the Titanic originated in a sketch written for an exhibition in support of beleaguered art students at Portsmouth in 1969. Working as I was in an art college environment, I was interested to see what might be the musical equivalent of a work of conceptual art. It was not until 1972 that I made a performing version of the piece for a performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
The materials used in this work are derived from research and speculations about the sinking of the "unsinkable" luxury liner. At 11:40PM, on April 14, 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank at 2:20 AM on April 15. Of the 2201 people on board, only 711 survived. The starting point for this piece was the reported fact of the band having played a hymn tune in the final moments of the ship's sinking. A number of other features of the disaster, which generate musical or sounding performance material, or which 'take the mind to other regions', are also included. The final hymn played during those last 5 minutes of the ship's life is identified in an account by Harold Bride, the junior wireless operator, in an interview for the New York Times on April 19, 1912.
This Episcopal hymn, then, becomes a basic element of the music and is subject to a variety of treatments. Bride did not hear the band stop playing and it would appear that the musicians continued to play even as the water enveloped them. My initial speculations centered, therefore, on what happens to music as it is played in water. On a purely physical level, of course, it simply stops since the strings would fail to produce much of a sound (it was a string sextet that played at the end, since the two pianists with the band had no instruments available on the Boat Deck). On a poetic level, however, the music, once generated in water, would continue to reverberate for long periods of time in the more sound-efficient medium of water. The music would then descend with the ship to the ocean bed and remain there, repeating over and over until the ship returns to the surface and the sounds re-emerge. (GB)
Gavin Bryars (1960)
Born in Yorkshire in 1943, Gavin Bryars began his career as a jazz bassist and pioneer of free improvisation with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He subsequently worked in the USA with John Cage and in Britain alongside Cornelius Cardew. His early iconic works The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) enjoyed major recording success in various versions. He has written extensively for the stage, including three full-length operas and dance works for, amongst others, Merce Cunningham, Edouard Lock and William Forsythe. Bryars has a long list of instrumental, orchestral and vocal works to his credit for artists such as the Hilliard Ensemble, Red Byrd, Trio Mediaeval, the Latvian Radio Choir and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bryars currently divides his residences between Leicestershire, UK and Metchosin, British Columbia. Gavin Bryars continues to perform internationally with his own ensemble.

The Sinking of the Titanic originated in a sketch written for an exhibition in support of beleaguered art students at Portsmouth in 1969. Working as I was in an art college environment, I was interested to see what might be the musical equivalent of a work of conceptual art. It was not until 1972 that I made a performing version of the piece for a performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
The materials used in this work are derived from research and speculations about the sinking of the "unsinkable" luxury liner. At 11:40PM, on April 14, 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank at 2:20 AM on April 15. Of the 2201 people on board, only 711 survived. The starting point for this piece was the reported fact of the band having played a hymn tune in the final moments of the ship's sinking. A number of other features of the disaster, which generate musical or sounding performance material, or which 'take the mind to other regions', are also included. The final hymn played during those last 5 minutes of the ship's life is identified in an account by Harold Bride, the junior wireless operator, in an interview for the New York Times on April 19, 1912.
This Episcopal hymn, then, becomes a basic element of the music and is subject to a variety of treatments. Bride did not hear the band stop playing and it would appear that the musicians continued to play even as the water enveloped them. My initial speculations centered, therefore, on what happens to music as it is played in water. On a purely physical level, of course, it simply stops since the strings would fail to produce much of a sound (it was a string sextet that played at the end, since the two pianists with the band had no instruments available on the Boat Deck). On a poetic level, however, the music, once generated in water, would continue to reverberate for long periods of time in the more sound-efficient medium of water. The music would then descend with the ship to the ocean bed and remain there, repeating over and over until the ship returns to the surface and the sounds re-emerge. (GB)
Gavin Bryars (1960)
Born in Yorkshire in 1943, Gavin Bryars began his career as a jazz bassist and pioneer of free improvisation with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. He subsequently worked in the USA with John Cage and in Britain alongside Cornelius Cardew. His early iconic works The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) enjoyed major recording success in various versions. He has written extensively for the stage, including three full-length operas and dance works for, amongst others, Merce Cunningham, Edouard Lock and William Forsythe. Bryars has a long list of instrumental, orchestral and vocal works to his credit for artists such as the Hilliard Ensemble, Red Byrd, Trio Mediaeval, the Latvian Radio Choir and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bryars currently divides his residences between Leicestershire, UK and Metchosin, British Columbia. Gavin Bryars continues to perform internationally with his own ensemble.

A little seen documentary on the the rise of experimental music in the 1960's. The Radio Times describes it as "A celebration of the music movement which flourished in the US and UK during the 1960s. Featuring profiles of American composers John Cage, Terry Reilly and Steve Reich, as well as their British counterparts Cornelius Cardew, Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman, who provided a contrast to the rigid musical dogmas of Stockhausen and his fellow serialists."
