Tesserae E, Op. 15/V (1972)
- Novello & Co Ltd (World)
Written for and first performed by Nancy and Bertram Turetsky
Programme Note
This piece is one of a series for one and two instruments; each refers obliquely to the English hymn-tune which is the common background for all of them. However, it is rarely recognisable, being split into small fragments and re-assembled in such a way as to conceal its identity, which none the less governs the composition throughout. Tesserae are the constituent parts of a mosaic, or the counters used by the ancients in games, having no significance in themselves but acquiring it by the use to which they are put.
