In this piece, I use techniques that attempt to give a

spiritual dimension to the music. The planets turn

constantly in their orbits - but we don't know why. And

is there, perhaps, a music of the spheres?



PERFORMANCE NOTES



Phrases - The curved line has been used sparingly.

Except for the slightly faster "coda" towards the end,

phrases last until the next rest.



Accidentals - The usual convention of notating an

accidental only once at the beginning of the bar has

been followed. However, there are some precautionary

accidentals in brackets - especially for the 6rst repeat of

the preceding note(s)



The clarinet is notated at transposed pitch.
