Arr. 2 Flute, Clarinet, Violin and Cello
Percussion required: Crotales; Vibraphone (no motor)
Duration:6’
First Performance: new noise, 17th February 2005, National Portrait Gallery, London
Inspired by the beautiful phenomenon of a flowing river with a frozen ‘crust’, this piece is a short delicate meditation. The sinuous lines of the oboe are blurred with hazy vibraphone drones and crystalline Morse code from the crotales. Commissioned by new noise and originally scored for oboe and percussion, there is an arrangement for violin, accordion and double
bass, and also an arrangement for 2 Flutes, Clarinet, Violin and Cello
