This evocative solo piano piece looks back as though in some troubled dream to fragments of Purcell and Tippett. The widely spaced opening notes are interrupted after only eight bars by a quick and relentlessly turbulent passage. A brief reference to the opening of Tippett's Fourth Symphony leads into a slower more expressive section; a predominantly mysterious even glassy sound world from which emerges the poignant notes of Dido's Lament from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas now at last momentarily in its correct juxtaposition. Finally a tiny fragment of the music is spun obsessively until it falls out of control and back into the carefully placed notes of the opening.
