As I was working on Heaven as a scroll I was haunted by images of the interior of the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello and its two great mosaics, in particular the Last Judgement that fills the west end of the church. Within the mosaic one can see an angel performing the task prescribed in Chapter 6, Verse 14 of the Book of Revaltion: ‘and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together’. Heaven as a scroll was written for Apartment House who premiered it in the Wigmore Hall, London on 13th April 2024. The musicians were Heather Roche (bass clarinet), Simon Limbrick (bells), Mira Benjamin (violin), Bridget Carey (viola) and Anton Lukoszevieze (cello).
