MGV (composition)

MGV, or Musique à Grande Vitesse is a 1993 musical composition by English composer Michael Nyman. Its title, which is French for "High-Speed Music", indicates its origin as a work commissioned by the Festival de Lille for the inauguration of the TGV LGV Nord line between Paris and Lille. It was first performed by the Michael Nyman Band and the Orchestre national de Lille under Jean-Claude Casadesus on 26 September 1993.
