Talking with Peter (just returned from his recent tour) today, we discussed rep for the approaching King’s Chapel concert. Is it too flutey? he asked. We agreed that some more bass voice were a very good thing. Although I never reported it here on ye Blog, I had written a string fugato with an eye to its use in the Opus 192 for Chamber Orchestra. Why not, thought I, make use of it for a new piece for C Flute, Alto Flute and Bass Clarinet? There being, og course, no reason not to, I took a goodly stretch of it and expanded upon it (which work will further enhance the Chamber Orchestra piece, too. Thus has been born Amorphous and Forward-Looking, Op. 196.
