Programme Note
"Let us now praise famous men .... such as found out musical tunes"
(Ecclesiasticus 44/5)
A sequence of solos for various instruments attracts the attention of a growing ensemble, curious about the intervals and rhythms of which the solos are made. The members of this group form temporary alliances, and construct musical tunes of their own. Once all are involved the process gradually unwinds.
