Mark-Anthony Turnage has rapidly earned a unique position among composers of his generation for his distinctively lyrical compositional voice, his ability to create complex yet always lucid instrumental textures, and his innate dramatic sense.

A Hessischer Rundfunks in Alte Oper Frankfurt 1996


Mark-Anthony Turnage (b.1960)

Blood on the Floor

Improvisation and jazz-style melodies have been part of Turnage’s work for many years, but this is the composer’s first large-scale attempt to obliterate artificial boundaries between one ‘type’ of music an another. A brutally powerful high octane fusion of jazz and classical styles, Blood on the Floor concentrates on themes of urban alienation and drug abuse and is described by Turnage as “probably the nastiest thing I have written”.

The work is titled after a Francis Bacon painting which he took as a starting point. It is one of the artist’s starkest canvases – an angry splash of blood lies on a wooden floor, surrounded by lurid orange walls, lit by a bare bulb. But Blood on the Floor also bears the influence of other contemporary works of art and literature – Junior Addict, a soulful poem by black American writer Langston Hughes inspired the second of the nine movements, Dispelling the Fears by Australian Artist Heather Betts the last. The tragedy of his young brother’s death from a drugs overdose influenced the sixth, Elegy for Andy.
