Programme Note
The Tritons were Charioteers of Poseidon; a solitary triton struggles to control rearing horses on the pediment of the Clydeport Building, Broomielaw, Glasgow. A conch shell summons the horses; some angry exchanges between Triton and horses ensue, followed by a quotation from the ancient Cantus Neptunius "Bullae semper anhelo" lead to a final section where a very bad tempered Triton vents his anger.
