    Highgrove Suite ?

    For several weeks Ive noticed my local HMV cramming
    lots or Highgrove Suites into its otherwise sparse racks.

    I have never heard of this work.

    Could anyone enlighten me ?

      It cropped up on the 'classical specialist chart' one week on R3, horrible vacuous candy-floss music, it sounded to me...

      I remember thinking it sounded like a collection of the most obvious musical clichés, as if it had been written as a joke.

      Step away from those racks, Alison!!

        I'm thinking of retraining as a marketeer.

        It's increasingly clear that in the modern world substance is of ever declining import....

            Certainly sounds totally vacuous and full of the worst musical cliches to me, rather like a previous work in memory of the Queen Mother. I hope I never sink to the depths of composing anything quite as bad, mind you perhaps I should, as least my music might then get played and recorded.

              Where's 3VS, with his twelve-tone pop tunes?

                Ah yes - the Highgrove Sweet was performed on a telly programme a few years ago. I remember thinking, at the time, "This is a sample of Hawes' Water".
