MGV, or Musique à Grande Vitesse - High-Speed Music is a 1993 musical composition by English composer Michael Nyman. It was commissioned by the Festival de Lille for the inauguration of the TGV North-European Paris-Lille line and was first performed by the Michael Nyman Band and the Orchestre national de Lille under Jean-Claude Casadesus on 26 September 1993.
From the program note by the composer [1]:
"MGV runs continuously but was conceived as an abstract, imaginary
journey; or rather five inter-connected journeys, each ending with a
slow, mainly stepwise melody which is only heard in its 'genuine' form
when the piece reaches its destination. The thematic 'transformation' is
a key to MGV as a whole, where musical ideas- rhythmic, melodic,
harmonic, motivic, textural - constantly change their identity as they
pass through different musical 'environments'. For instance the opening
bars establish both a recurrent rhythmic principle - 9, 11, or 13-beat
rhythmic cycles heard against a regular 8 - and a harmonic process -
chord sequences (mainly over C and E) which have the note E in common.
(Coincidentally, MGV begins in C and ends in E). A later scalic,
syncopated figure (again first heard over C, E and A) begins the second
section, featuring brass, in D flat. And so on: the topography of MGV
should be experienced without reference to planning, description or
timetables. Tempo changes, unpredictable slowings down, bear no logical
relation to the high speed of the Paris-Lille journey, while the
temptation to treat MGV as a concerto grosso, with the Michael Nyman
band as the ripieno, was resisted: more suitably the Band (amplified in
live performance) lays down the tracks on which MGV runs."
MGV was presented on The Piano Concerto/MGV by Argo Records, released in 1994.
