Big Heads

Commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society as part of their Composer's Programme, for Gemma Rosefield at Presteigne Festival, 2022.

"In the 13th century Llewelyn, prince of North Wales, had a palace at Beddgelert. One day he went hunting without Gelert, ‘The Faithful Hound’, who was unaccountably absent.
On Llewelyn's return the truant, stained and smeared with blood, joyfully sprang to meet his master. The prince alarmed hastened to find his son, and saw the infant's cot empty, the bedclothes and floor covered with blood.
The frantic father plunged his sword into the hound's side, thinking it had killed his heir. The dog's dying yell was answered by a child's cry.
Llewelyn searched and discovered his boy unharmed, but nearby lay the body of a mighty wolf which Gelert had slain. The prince filled with remorse is said never to have smiled again. He buried Gelert here."

oh, what a day

Rylan Gleave (b.1997) is a Glasgow-based composer and vocalist whose music addresses intersectional identity, re-contextualised natural situations, and quiet, furious resistance. His musical practice is inclusive, and involves mending the unfeigned gaps in his classical study with the healings of imaginative neuro-/ gender-divergent kinship.
Re-emerging as a composer/performer, Rylan’s work explores the instrumental qualities of his late-breaking trans-masc voice through queer autoethnography, and autistic-specific notation. His music has been praised as ‘haunting’ by The Herald, and ‘rapturous’ by The Scotsman, who named him ‘One to Watch’ 2021, describing him as ‘one of the brightest lights in Scotland’s new music scene’. Rylan has recently graduated from an MMus Degree with Dr. Linda Buckley at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Composition prize and The Craig Armstrong Prize, after completing his BMus with David Fennessy, graduating with Honours of the First Class, The Dinah and Walter Wolfe Memorial Award, and The Kimie Composition Prize.
