About the work

As a string player herself, Pat Moss writes in a linear style which gives each member of the ensemble an essential part of the whole, so therefore the benefit of these works comes as a result of much playing with others, and enjoying the participation.

First Performance: London Chamber Group, Dec 1997, BMIC

Technical notes

Explores a wide range of string techniques, and required experienced players. Linear style, and practice needed to establish the interlocking of parts. All parts have interest.
