He is known to sometimes disparate audiences for quite different works. Prominent compositions include the a cappella choral works The Wishing Tree (2002) and Path of Miracles (2005); orchestral works Sneaker Wave (2004), Tide Harmonic (2009), Worlds, Stars, Systems, Infinity (2012) and Meniscus (2012); the theme and score for the popular BBC Twocomedy series The League of Gentlemen (1999–2002); silent film scores The Lodger (1999) and The Dying Swan (2002) for the British Film Institute; film scores The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Son of Rambow (2007) and Penelope (2008). Works for dance include shorter works Chroma (2006), Genus (2007), Fool's Paradise (2007), and Chamber Symphony (2012); and four full-length narrative ballet scores, commissioned by The Royal Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada and The Australian Ballet, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (2011, revived 2012 and 2013), The Winter's Tale (2014), Like Water for Chocolate (2022), and Oscar (2024). Talbot premiered his first opera in January 2015 with the Dallas Opera, a one-act work entitled Everest, with a libretto by Gene Scheer, which follows three climbers involved in the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
