Welcome to the website of the British composer Thomas Hyde
'He is clearly his own man on his own turf...certainly one to be watched'
Opera
'...his sheer vigour and intrinsic sense of drama won the day... Thomas Hyde clearly has dramatic as well a musical potential.'
Tempo
'...a quirky, clever score...with a promising grasp of what it takes to make music-theatre work...'
Opera Now
'Hyde's sensuous, lyrical writing was given full rein in Vanderspar's gripping performance, buoyed up by the rich, luminous textures from the other instrumentalists, which would as suddenly lighten into beautiful soloistic moments...'
The Strad
'Colourfully dissonant writing shows a true ear for composition...'
The Organ
