Program Notes:
This plays off of one main theme that is expanded on using different transformations. Originally, it was scored for three parts and had no free composition. Because of this, a lot of the material is either a diminution, augmentation, or retrograde of the original melody played at the beginning. Thank you to the Canoe Quartet for giving this a live performance! The slightly more than casual observer will notice slight I made from the score video.
