Perhaps he's offering a blistering, subversive take on what a frankly modern piano concerto can be, as he did more than 20 years ago for the symphony with "Asyla" (1997)?

No. 4 was the spicy, easygoing Compass Box Asyla, which had a natural sort of sweetness that differed markedly from the sweetness that comes from the legal use of caramel as a coloring agent.

When, back in 2002, Simon Rattle began his seventeen-year tenure as the music director of the Berlin Philharmonic, he opened his inaugural program with Thomas Adès's 1997 work "Asyla," which mixes grand Romantic gestures with four-on-the-floor dance beats.

Henry Tuke (1755–1814) co-founded with his father, William Tuke, the Retreat asylum in York, England, a humane alternative to the nineteenth-century network of asyla, based on Quaker principles. He was the author of several moral and theological treatises which have been translated into German and French. He was a subscriber to the African Institution, the body which set out to create a viable, civilized refuge for freed slaves in Sierra Leone, Africa.

It has a steady rhythm which has been compared to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. The music here is much more insistent than in the previous movements and is much more vivid and lively. After reaching a climax echoed by the strings, the fourth movement becomes calmer at the beginning, and suddenly turns violent when a tutti chord initiated by the horns bursts towards the end of the piece.

Philip also had the marsh partially drained, as the writer Theophrastus ( 371 – 287 BC) attests. Philippi preserved its autonomy within the kingdom of Macedon and had its own political institutions (the Assembly of the demos). The discovery of new gold mines near the city, at Asyla, contributed to the wealth of the kingdom and Philip established a mint there. The city became fully integrated into the kingdom during the reign (221 to 179 BC) of Philip V of Macedon.

The title of the composition is the Latin plural form of asylum, which here means both sanctuary and madhouse. It was commissioned by the John Feeney Charitable Trust and was premiered by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Simon Rattle, in Birmingham's Symphony Hall in October 1997. This piece is best known for its third movement, which features techno-like traits. Adès himself narrated the compositional process as follows: Asyla received critical praise and won a Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award in 1997 and the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition in 2000.

In the republican and early imperial times, a right of asylum, such as existed in the Greek states, does not appear to have been recognised by the Roman law. Livy seems to speak of the right (xxxv. 51) as peculiar to the Greeks:—Temphim esi Apollinis Delium— eo jure sancto quo sunt templa quae asyla Graeci ap pellant. By a constitutio of Antoninus Pius, it was decreed that, if a slave in a province fled to the temples of the gods or the statues of the emperors, to avoid the ill-usage of his master, the praeses could compel the master to sell the slave (Gains, i.
