Work & Edition Details
Breaking the Ground (2003) takes its title from a seventeenth century English variation technique, as described by Christopher Simpson in his 1659 treatise The Division Violist. There are two interlocking variation processes in the piece - one based on an iambic melodic line, the other on a harmonic sequence - which occasionally interfere with one another, and the material of each is not heard in its simplest form until the end. Breaking the Ground was commissioned by the Warwick and Leamington Festival with funds generously provided by West Midlands Arts. It is dedicated to Howard Skempton.
