This piece encompasses many emotions. It is highly rhythmic, melodic and also has a generous helping of punchy aggression and dissonance.
It was given it’s world premiere, and so far its only performance to date, back in June 1992. The performers were:
Violin 1 – Carl Beddow, Violin 2 – David Parry, Viola – Edmund Barrett, Cello – Laura Fairhurst, Double Bass – Wendy Milanowsky (now Lambros), Flute – Christina Bailey and Harpsichord – Anthony Davie.
