[Manuscript] Lacrimae for Twelve Players. Op 1.

Bookseller Notes

A dramatic, detailed 12-tone composition, probably a student opus, employing a wide variety of textures, dynamic extremes and complex meter with multiple time signatures. The score is peppered with careful instructions concerning exact dynamics, tempi and articulation. Charles de Hoghton has proved elusive as student, composer or musician. A Charles de Hoghton of the Political and Economic Planning think tank of the 1960s, did, however, praise the Beatles for the way in which they helped to update the traditional view of Britain (Great British Dream Factory, Sambrook, 2015) - perhaps a relation, or even the man himself?
