NotesDedicated to Rene Waterman.
Programme NoteThis is one of the pieces from "Peregrine - A Quest". The words are meant to be a mixture of prose, poetry and analysis of the music.



The piece is in three sections entitles: -



1. One Note / New World

2. One Note / All the Notes

3. All the Notes / One World



The !st 2 sections are purely instrumental. The voices - entering in section 3 - describe what has happened in the previous 2 sections, as well as briefly describing the 3rd section. Therefore section 3 is in itself divided into 3 sections, which are named in the score with the same 3 titles as above. Thus an endless cycle is implied.
