“Ddiwedd” is a masterful exercise in creating tension through suspenseful build-up, and then letting it all go in exhilarating release; it takes all the elements from the rest of the score – the crashing pianos, the tapped cellos, the incessant string percussion, the eerie clarinets, little orchestral clusters… He’s telling a story with this music, following the emotions of the characters, enhancing the moments of anxiety and/or relief they feel as they bring Aled’s elaborate plan to fruition, and he’s doing it with sophisticated, through-composed music that develops organically and feels like a coherent whole. It’s fantastic!
