'Can't decide which was my favourite percussion moment of #Innovation216 by @lizlanecomposer tonight. Maybe the twigs on the bass drum simulating old propeller planes…. Or maybe the tubular bell descending into a bucket of water to simulate the Doppler effect sound of passing aircraft.’
'Your composition is beautiful. So emotive and a wonderful portrayal of the battle.'
'Liz’s Holding the Hill had me in tears from the very beginning and I know I wasn’t the only one. It was the perfect way to remember the veterans.'
‘loved the #Innovation216 piece from #composer @lizlanecomposer’

“Great gig… such an inspirational piece of music - so descriptive. The way each part of Innovation mimics the different types of planes is really quite remarkable. Close your eyes and you can visualise each one.”
If any of you are following me but not yet following @lizlanecomposer , please do so! This wonderful lady is a truly talented composer but is also using music for what it should be used for - entertaining but also bringing people together. So much respect for her!

"unique intersectional scoring"
“Once again I am deeply jealous of all those soaring themes.... *sigh*...”
"Liz Lane's sentimental connection to the creation of her new work, 'Tide and Time' shone through as the sonorous scoring of the work was perfectly complemented by the Foden's soundworld."
"Textured colours and lyrical memories seeped through Liz Lane’s ‘Tide and Time’; music that flowed with subtle meanderings engineered by Michael Fowles between the touching reflections of Rachmaninov to the more esoteric teasings of 17th century Rosicrucianism - all linked with crafted elegance to the stanchion points of the band’s proud contesting past."
"A wonderful addition to the repertoire"
"the musical highlight of the disc"
“quite simply brilliant! Wonderfully evocative and memorable”
“easily appealing, yet musically reputable”
"quite stunning - a beautiful work"
