Bryars, G. - After Handel's "Vesper"

'This piece for solo harpsichord (1995, duration 10 minutes) was commissioned by Maggie Cole. '... I have offered many options with ornamentation, suggesting some, writing out others completely, but also encouraging the player to use their invention and instincts to add others where not specified and generally to adopt an open approach to the piece.'
