    …..has died.

    I know he’d not been well for some time, but a hell of a shame.

    I’ll stick this on and raise a glass later.
    He’ll be missed.

    Definitely a genius. Song for Athene was his best-known piece because it was performed at that funeral. It has a male voice drone running right through it in the style of Greek religious music. He wrote it for a young woman who was killed while cycling.
