Music Composition and Performance [cl-solo, 2 vn, va, vc] c.22min

In seven short movements, for strings and spoken voice, in which the compositional form of the music represents the processes that each rock undertook in its formation (Slate, for example, is formed of large, fairly featureless slabs with very sharp edges, so this is reflected in the musical texture). This form is further molded by a more abstract appreciation of the landscape or rock mediated through the poetry of Norman Nicholson.
