Tetra-Mnemosyne I for String Trio (1998)

A 10 minute piece for Violin, Viola and Cello. Melancholic, and mercurial, this piece explores realms where counterpoint breaks down into pure string melodic textures. My most romantic piece yet; inspired by recent paintings by my spouse, Elsie Russell (new paintings, not at Net in Arcadia currently). This piece changes gears more times than a semi going down a mountain but not in my usual cataclysmic way. In this piece the shift is continuously tuneful. Mnemosyne is the Greek Muse of memory. The title implies four muse-memories, the past, present, future and a memory beyond time.
