After his great compositions for the London Jazz Composers Orchestra and the Barry Guy New Orchestra, Barry Guy has written a large scale work for a new international ensemble.
Guy’s work, The Blue Shroud, is an homage to the painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso. It is for the people of the Basque town, who were victims of the Nazi German air force bombardment during the Spanish Civil War.
Guy also wants us to remember the occasion in 2003, when the Guernica-tapestry at the UN Security Council was obscured by a blue drape as Colin Powell made the case for invading Iraq. The strength of art against the power of the military, government and the media.
