This
is the story of an emotional love triangle
that takes us right to the heart of Cumbrian
life during the cataclysmic events that
took place at the turn of the last century.
The
Hired Man tells the timeless, moving story
of a young married couple and their struggle
to carve a living from the land, just as
the gathering storm of war in Europe threatens
to disrupt their lives. The working-class
rituals of hunting, drinking and hiring
fayres are set to Goodall’s music
sung by actors and a community choir creating
a haunting and arresting atmosphere. The
Hired Man is acclaimed for its epic, nostalgic
and beautiful score. Based on the novel
by Melvyn Bragg, it became an award-winning
musical when he collaborated with Howard
Goodall, a renowned composer of choral music,
stage musicals, film and TV scores (Blackadder).
He is an award-winning broadcaster and is
Classic FM’s Composer-in-Residence
for 2008-9. «
