Description
Though this work is in a conventional three-movement format, each of the three movements has a unique form, with no traditional patterns. The first is generated from the opening music, which reappears in faster tempi with each manifestation. Movement two incorporates music from Aubade, the second of Bernard Rands’ Three Pieces for Piano, and is based on the slow unfolding of a tiny musical object. The form of the third movement evolves from an ever-increasing pitch-interval; beginning with a minor second trill, it expands to tremolandi covering all interval options. Initiated by the piano, these trigger orchestral responses, which create complex harmonic, rhythmic and timbral textures and give rise to a perpetuum mobile character.
