Programme Note

Prospero's assessment of his Shakespearian environment provides an appropriate title for music written on one island, to be performed in another. The noises of which this particular piece is full are mainly minor thirds, furiously decorated. Unison pitches and rhythms have a tendency to drift apart more or less intentionally.
