Wonderful composition and performance! - many thanks John and Adam!

This is an amended version of Legacy 4, the final instalment of the dozen works by which I would like to be remembered. The Floating World was written as the major piece for my Doctoral submission to the University of Sussex and was first performed by Olivia Ray with the K.239 Chamber Orchestra conducted by Peter Britton. Disjunct Variations was given its first public performance by Adam Bowles in Montevallo, Alabama, and this studio recording was made by him shortly after. Double Concerto was premiered in its revised version by Marco Blaaw and Marcus Weiss, with the BBC SSO conducted by Geoffrey Paterson in the City Halls, Glasgow.

You come around
And I go around
I can’t tame my addiction
It’s not what you think with me
Just pay attention
I drive in circles
Trip myself
On the same distortion
I always feel I have to go
I can’t convey enough
Need a place for my scattered mind
Be longing is so senseless
Here I go in my eternal process
Which I’m overly obsessed

Hurry up
Rush my friend
Push it baby
I’m sorry, so sorry

You come around
I go around
I can’t tame my addiction
It’s not what you think with me
Just pay attention
I drive in circles
Trip myself
On the same distortion
Be sure for what purpose
Noone is a finished matter
We are just hanging on
Trying to make life better
Where do I wanna run
Oh, I’m not here
Nowhere, anywhere

Hurry up
Rush my friend
Push it baby
I’m sorry, so sorry

Hurry Up

These SoundCloud posts contain most of my work, and the series of 5 Legacy playlists in the Spotlight are all those by which I would most like to be remembered. They begin with Noche Oscura, which I wrote in 1976, and end with Broken Forms from 2021 and the opera Russian Jerusalem and the anthem Even-Song, completed in 2022.
Details of all my compositions, and information about their publication, can be found at my publisher's address: Ricordi London (http://www.ricordi.com/en-US/Composers/H/Hopkins-John.aspx)
