We Beat The Bounds, 2017. Commissioned by Tate St Ives.

A work for local choirs, commissioned by Tate St Ives to celebrate the opening of an
extension that doubled the size of the gallery. In the UK the ancient custom of beating the
bounds marks the edge of a parish by beating it with a willow wand. Starting from the logia,
the choirs repeatedly traced the full extent of the new bounds of the Tate, crossing in the
new gallery. The galleries resound to voices and sticks, and are reflected in mirror-tipped
wands. The score composed by Gareth Churcher is also mirrored: sung in a round, the
notes are inverted horizontally and vertically through successive bars.
