The Courage Consort, possibly the seventh best-known a cappella
vocal ensemble in Britain, are given two weeks in a Belgian chateau
to rehearse their latest commission, the monstrously complicated
Partitum Mutante. But can the piece be performed? Does it matter
that its composer is a maniac best known for attacking his wife
with a stiletto shoe at the baggage reclaim of Milan airport? Can
the five members of the Consort endure their own sexual tensions
and wildly differing temperaments? And what is the inhuman voice
that calls out to them from the woods at night? The esoteric world
of avant-garde classical music is the unlikely setting for a story
of rare power - perhaps the most moving Michel Faber has yet
written.
