Description
This piece was composed for Alan Leech in 1980, and revised in 1987. The music is pitch-centric, and features a triadic motive common to all movements as well as significant rhythmic variety. Although moderately challenging, with most of the musical material involving the lower and middle registers, the piece ascends to C5, and the final phrase may be played up an octave, extending the range to E5.
