Birtwistle, Sir Harrison - Harrisons Clocks

Harrisons Clocks

The title of these five musical timepieces refers to the 18th century clockmaker John Harrison whose struggle to develop the first reliable navigational chronometer is related in Dava Sobels book "Longitude". The work continues the composers preoccupation with time and the idea of musical mechanisms.
