Sidechaining is a great little piece…and there’s definitely some late Rubbra in there (that lovely little episode featuring solo oboe, clarinet and violin starting at 4:51, which may be the selfsame “highly lyrical sequence” that you yourself allude to)!
I know; we’ve exchanged light-hearted banter to that effect before, and I felt that here was the perfect opportunity (because the passage in question does sound very Rubbra-esque to my ears) to continue said banter. 😉
Ahh, gotta love a bit of Rubbra – yet another scandalously underrated composer. Indeed, I believe it was you, (under your nom de plume) who first turned me on to Rubbra, for which I’m very grateful.
Incidentally, if you liked Sidechaining, David Bruce’s YouTube channel is well worth checking out. He’s made some pretty interesting videos about his compositional process and what it’s like working as a composer today.
Sorry Dan, I meant to reply to this ages ago, but then didn’t. Re: Rubbra, bringing him to your attention remains very much my pleasure! I’ll definitely check out those David Bruce videos.

i’m starting to think you hear some Rubbra in everything, Chris!
