1 Sandman's Realm by Vincent Ho

Sandman's Realm is based on Ho's solo tam-tam work Sandman's Castle (PE170), which was written for Dame Evelyn Glennie as part of the 50 for 50 project celebrating her 50th birthday. Ho drew inspiration for Sandman's Realm from the intricate tactility of Chinese calligraphy.

About the composer

Vincent Ho

Vincent Ho is a Canadian who is widely recognised as one of the most exciting composers of his generation. He has made waves in the music world of North America despite being fairly early in his compositional career, receiving numerous prizes, accolades, and prominent commissions in a relatively short space of time. Ho’s music is rich and energetic - a unique integration of influences ranging from the visual arts, electroacoustic and natural soundscapes, traditional classical music forms, and the physical properties of the instruments and ensembles for which he writes. His music is sensual, sonorous and richly textured, and Ho gives considerable attention to the audience’s experience of his intricate sound-worlds.
