Time Knot



I just finished a short piece for the Society for New Music benefit concert in May. It's a study or possibly a movement of a larger piece that I hope to write over the summer.

It's called Time Knot (provisionally), which is an homage to Messaien's Quartet for the End of Time (same instrumentation), and incorporates my Labyrinth Set, devised in the Labyrinth Room at the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. That set was originally for a double concerto, which became an octet, and now a quartet. I may use the same set for the other pieces, but I'll see after I have composed the other movements of this piece.

I can't publish it on CreateSpace because it is too short - only 7 pages (ca 2'). That will have to wait for the complete work. If anyone is interested in it, just send me an email or comment below and I'll find a way to be in touch.
