i  Little Continuum   ii Elegeia

The Continuum is a 90th birthday present for Elliott Carter, an attempt to encapsulate some of the energy of a remarkable man. ('Little' because it will form part of a larger Continuum at a later stage.)

Chris van Kampen was one of the first professional musicians I met, in 1968; a piece of mine for the Nash Ensemble, Elegiac Chaconne, was the last new work he played, shortly before his death in September 1997. As a tribute to him, I have recomposed it for a much larger ensemble, although the cello remains silent. Chris's musicianship and his commitment to new music were beyond praise.
