about

There are hundreds of sheepfolds in Cumbria, most of them abandoned ruins, built long ago, when farmers did their shepherding on foot and gathered their sheep on or in the vicinity of the fells. Ever since William Wordsworth’s time, ruined sheepfolds have held a special romantic charm for many people, but they also represent an evocative symbolism in a county which is synonymous with sheep farming.


During August, 1996, sculptor Andy Goldsworthy embarked on an ambitious project, exploring and reworking a series of sheepfolds near Casterton in Cumbria. Twenty two years later, I visited this remarkable work and decided to compose some music in response.
