Music
The music for Seven for a secret, never to be told is based on Ravel's L'enfant et les sortilèges adapted by Stephen McNeff.
Stephen McNeff
Stephen McNeff is best known for his music for the theatre as well as orchestral music. His operas Clockwork and Gentle Giant have been seen at the Royal Opera House Linbury Theatre, and in 2007 Tarka won the British Composer Award for best stage work. He was Composer in Residence with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra from 2005 - 2008 and is currently working with the orchestra on The Chalk Legends - a large scale choral and orchestral work to be premièred in 2012. His new adaptation of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande was nominated for a Royal Philharmonic Society award in 2009 while last autumn saw the premiere of his colorful and energetic Double Percussion Concerto for the O Duo and BBC Symphony Orchestra. Future plans include the release of a CD devoted to his orchestral music and an opera based on Giles Foden's novel, The Last King of Scotland.
