Editorial
The British Composer Awards have been announced, and congratulations to Julian Anderson, who won two awards (including the Liturgical category with Bell Mass), and to Michael Zev Gordon, whose Allele (see Jul/Aug 2010 issue) won the Choral category. I know few composers with the supreme confidence (some would say breathtaking cheek) of Schubert, who apparently once declared, ‘I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done’; but most would say they write because they have something meaningful to say, and seek a distinctive voice with which to say it.
