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.

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.

"Turnage's chief gift: the ability to produce wonderfully imaginative, innovative music which draws quite naturally and unselfconsciously on the broad range of contemporary sources which he has so thoroughly and tellingly assimilated" The Time
