About the work

Commissioned for the Chamber Music Exchange by Thalia Myers, and performed at three concerts as part of that scheme in 2000, in Bath, Oxford, and London.

Technical notes

The piece consists of isolated notes of the three instruments, with a good deal of pizzicato in the strings, within a time signature shifting between 3/8 and 5/8
