It was finished in 1997 and has been performed widely, especially by the British conductor Simon Rattle. It has been described as a symphony, the third movement being its unacknowledged scherzo. == Composition == 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fabermusic.com/repertoire/asyla-2510 )〕 This composition 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. It was eventually published by Faber Music in 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://grawemeyer.org/music/previous-winners/2000-thomas-ades.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asyla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
