Homage to Carl Philippe Emmanuel Bach was designed by Jorn Utzon, architect of the Sydney Opera House. The commission for the work was awarded to the Workshop by Utzon in 2003 and it was completed and hung in the rejuvenated Reception Hall - now named the Utzon Room - of the Opera House in 2004. Utzon's design was inspired by Bach's Hamburg Symphonies and the floor-to-ceiling tapestry is an attempt to express the function of the edifice as a building for the world of music by translating a piece of music into a visual experience. The tapestry is a stunning display of colour and movement. Each colour is significant with the gold representing an explosion of violins, the black vertical shapes relating to the rhythm of the music, and the colour patches indicating the individual instruments. The Utzon Room is the only authentic Utzon interior within Sydney Opera House and Jorn Utzon designed every detail from the light fittings, to the furniture, and the 14 metre (46 feet) tapestry lining the western wall.
