Not only did he suffer from poor eyesight, but exhaustion and depression also took their toll on the process. After battling for months with writing down the first third of the piece, [[Michael Tippett]] was finally left with no other choice, but to dictate the score to his editor and proofreader [[Michael Tippett]], due to his ever increasing blindness. He was, however, able to pick up the pen again to write down the very last bars himself.</ins></div></td></tr>

The large orchestra seldom comes together in full. Rather, [[Michael Tippett]] writes for multiple combinations of smaller instrumental groups to a dazzling effect. The song sections are more developed and interconnected, while the interludes appear static with the main focus on the different sonorities inherent in the vast instrumental resources employed. </ins></div></td></tr>

There js that unique lyricism in The Rose Lake, which sets it apart from all other music, including most of Tippett’s other pieces. </ins></div></td></tr>
