first
performed by Emma Speare and the composer in 1990; duration:
c.12'
A three-movement sonata with a symbolic basis in
the words from the end of 1 Corinthians 13: These three remain:
faith, hope, and love, these three, but the greatest of these
is love.
It is entirely written in the composer's own rainbow mode
- based approximately on the first seven distinct tones in the
harmonic series as well as the additional two notes from the octatonic
scale, i.e.: C, D, E, F#, G, A, Bb, Db, Eb
- but each movement is in a different transposition.
