But it was very enjoyable to return to Christ Church. Poshed-up or otherwise, the place is magical. The Gabrieli Consort made its usual appearance here, and Endymion, conducted by Richard Baker, premiered the first piece to result from the festival's New Music Commission Fund, Morgan Hayes's Original Version. Brief but dense - a counterpoint, indeed, of three metrically distinct and spatially separated layers, one of them a chirruping violin duo in the reconstructed gallery - though not too dense, and toughly, microtonally elegant in style, it was an interesting excursion.

Then came the première of the first work commissioned by Spitalfields New Music Commission Fund. Original Version is an ambitious piece by the young British composer Morgan Hayes which sets up complicated interactions between three ensembles.
Two violins high up in the gallery seemed like a pair of invisible chirruping birds; four melody instruments, stage left, tried to unsettle each other with obstreperous micro-tonal inflections; and a sextet, stage right, hurled in low-pitched, murky interjections.
