| Notes | |
| Programme Note | This piece is based on a musical cypher of Debussy’s name: D E Bflat Eflat at the end the initials of his forenames are added: A C. It is a homage to a composer whose works I love. At one point there is a reference to “Nuages” from his Nocturnes as I have aways liked watching clouds. In the tombeau tradition the work ends with the full cypher ascending as the soul rises to heaven. [Janet Beat[ |
