Biographical note
Martin Butler was born in Romsey, England, in 1960 and studied at the University of Manchester and the Royal Northern College of Music. In 1983 he received a Fulbright Award for study at Princeton University, USA, where he was resident until 1987. From 1998-1999 Martin was Composer-in-Residence at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in the United States. He is currently Professor of Music at the University of Sussex. Butler's works are widely performed and broadcast both in the UK and abroad.
A short work for solo cello, Siward's River Song is drawn from the music associated with a character in Butler's opera A Better Place. Siward is the ghost of a drowned lighterman, trapped in the past. This is a fantasy growing out of his characteristic lament which is heard a number of times during the opera.
