Tarik O'Regan

Tarik O'Regan began the 21st century as a virtual unknown and has become one of the most played, commissioned, and recorded British composers of his generation. He has written music in most genres, but his choral works have been especially successful. His music is mostly tonal or modal and is fairly approachable even as it contains passages of considerable density and draws on a seemingly incompatible diversity of styles. There are minimalist elements, as well as folk traits from Ireland and North Africa, and he acknowledges the influence of jazz and rock music. His works are available from Harmonia Mundi, Signum UK, Sony, and other major recording labels. ~ TiVo Staff
