Skempton's music perfectly reflects the rich, varied, and at times frenetic narrative of the text, a poem by D.H. Lawrence, with voice and instruments alike contributing to the characterization. The first performance was given by Roderick Williams and Ensemble 360 at a Music in the Round concert on 20 July 2017 in Upper Chapel, Sheffield.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43631150497871,"sku":"9780193519572","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/c4ecd3058595f196f97d13004422649f.jpg?v=1759336691","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/skempton-man-bat-oup","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
