The piece opens with a virtuosic exploration of the possibilities of rhythmic drive and tonal colours on the French horn, before moving into long sustained passages of lyrical melody. Incorporated into the piece are rapid shifts of register, dynamics and muting options, making great demands on the performer's stamina. The inspiration for the piece, Rhynie Man, is an outstanding example of Pictish art, created near the village of Rhynie in Aberdeenshire, probably in the eighth century. It is a rare example of a single figure occupying most of the space on a stone. Seeing a stone like this makes us wonder what life was like so long ago; yet the village of Rhynie hosts also the discovery site of the world's oldest fossil insect, evidence of the earliest known terrestrial ecosystem in the world, dating from 400 million years ago. As music is an art form which exists in real time, composers have long been fascinated by the depiction of time itself. Thus Rhynie Man begins with an inhuman section of pure rhythm, struggling for recognition, before leaping forward to the relatively modern era of the Picts, and the grandeur of the man himself.
